IDI Shutters Diamond Trade Magazine
With the news that its longtime editor, Shira Ami, is retiring, the Israel Diamond Institute Group of Companies is ceasing publication of its trade magazine, Hayahalom.
Ramat Gan, Israel--The Israel Diamond Institute Group of Companies announced Tuesday that it is ceasing publication of its trade magazine, Hayahalom.
The publication’s longtime editor Shira Ami recently announced that she was retiring, precipitating the closing of the magazine, IDI said. Ami has edited Hayahalom for the past 34 years.
Founded in 1944, Hayahalom was the only diamond trade magazine published in Hebrew.
In its early days, the publication was the only published sporadically. It began to appear regularly in 1967 with the founding of the Israel Diamond Institute.
Then, as the local industry grew, so too did the magazine, reporting on new markets, rough sources, technologies and innovative cuts, as well as important issues and challenges facing the industry.
During its publication, the magazine grew to become an important source of information for members of the Israeli diamond industry about trends and developments in the diamond world as well as local industry news and events.
Each issue of the magazine included several pages of articles translated into English and was distributed in the local market as well as abroad. In recent years, it also has been available on the IDI website.
“Shira Ami led Hayahalom with creativity and dedication to become a high quality magazine,” IDI Chairman Shmuel Schnitzer said. “With her retirement, we decided to rethink the publication of a printed magazine and are now considering alternative options. We thank Shira for her many years of contribution to the Israeli Diamond Industry and wish her success in her future endeavors.”
