The editorial board and printing of the newspaper were located at Metzudat Ze'ev in Tel Aviv. On the 4th floor was the newspaper system, on the number three linotype machines, the printing manager's room, and the proofreaders' room. The printing press was an independent economic entity called "Citadel Printing, Ltd.", and was located in the basement. The edited material was lowered with a pinch at the end of a rope that was dropped into the order room and the layout tables through an opening in the ceiling.

The first issue of ''HaYom'' was published on Tuesday, January 11, 1966, and cost 35 agorot to purchase. Its last publication was on December 14, 1969.

There was a "Conversations of the day" section about personalities, places, and subjects on page 2. On Friday and holiday eve newspapers, articles about socio-political and economic issues were published by members of the Gahal board, such as Menachem Begin, Yohanan Bader, Peretz Bernstein, and Yosef Sapir. Attached to it was a special page of the weekly updates of the liberal Herut bloc in the Histadrut (later, the page was published in a newspaper called Tchelet and White).{{citation needed|date= January 2024}}

Editorials were initially written for the first few months by the leaders of the Gahal. Later, there was a more independent editor free of direct influence by members of the Gahal party, which was specifically emphasized following the ideological departure from scrutiny, which distinguished it from other ideologically-driven papers at the time.{{citation needed|date= January 2024}}
