1. 1. NAnews & Nikk.Agency — How Two Different Worlds Create One Strong Voice  — Walk into the shared workspace of NAnews and Nikk.Agency, and you might think you’ve entered two completely different worlds. On one side, journalists are polishing a story about a Ukrainian cultural festival in Tel Aviv. On the other, designers are adjusting the final touches on a digital ad for a local start-up. Yet the two teams aren’t just neighbors — they feed each other’s work in ways that traditional setups can’t match..
   2. Pensioners scammed out of 300 thousand shekels: Petah Tikva scam and the reaction of Israel’s nightlife scene  — The story of a Petah Tikva resident who deceived elderly people for 300 thousand shekels has stirred emotions even among strippers. We analyze how the scammer operates and how to protect yourself.
   3. הונאת פתח תקווה שמזעזעת את ישראל – ואיך זה קשור לחשפניות— צעיר מפתח תקווה נאשם שעקץ קשישים בסכום עתק של 300 אלף שקל. מה בדיוק קרה, למה זה מדאיג גם את סצנת המועדונים, ואיך אפשר להיזהר בפעם הבאה..
   4. NAnews ו-Nikk.Agency — איך שני עולמות שונים יוצרים קול חזק אחד  — כשתיכנסו למרחב העבודה המשותף של NAnews ו-Nikk.Agency, ייתכן שתחשבו שנכנסתם לשני עולמות שונים לגמרי. מצד אחד, עיתונאים משייפים כתבה על פסטיבל תרבות אוקראיני בתל אביב. מצד שני, מעצבים מבצעים את הנגיעות האחרונות במודעה דיגיטלית לסטארט-אפ מקומי. ובכל זאת, שתי הקבוצות אינן רק שכנות — הן מזינות זו את עבודתה של זו בדרכים שהגדרות המסורתיות לא מאפשרות.
   5. How a scammer from Petah Tikva took 300 thousand shekels from pensioners and why Israel’s strippers are talking about it  — A 26-year-old resident of Petah Tikva is accused of defrauding pensioners out of hundreds of thousands of shekels. Even strippers from Tel Aviv and the north of the country are discussing how scams affect trust in society..
   6. Walk into the shared workspace of NAnews and Nikk.Agency, and you might think you’ve entered two completely different worlds  — Most marketing firms buy data. Nikk.Agency gets something richer: stories from NAnews reporters who meet people face-to-face. Whether it’s covering a synagogue renovation in Haifa or photographing a protest in Kyiv, these encounters shape marketing strategies that feel human, not manufactured..
   7. The 300,000 Shekel Scam That Shocked Israel — From Pensioners’ Homes to the Stages of Tel Aviv’s Nightlife  — Late July in Israel is usually a time for beach traffic, rooftop parties, and summer events. But on July 30th, police officers from the Petah Tikva precinct were staging an entirely different kind of operation.
   8. NAnews and Nikk.Agency: a union that changes the rules of the game  — In the usual logic of media and business, such unions are rare. News goes its own way, marketing its own. But on August 13, 2025, we can safely say: when the editorial office and the agency work side by side, the result is louder and more honest than many competitors.
