Tan (meaning Dawn in English) was a Turkish language newspaper based in Istanbul, Turkey, which existed for ten years between 1935 and 1945. The paper has been known for the attacks against its offices due to the allegations of being a communist publication in December 1945. It is also known for the editors, namely Zekeriya and Sabiha Sertel.
History and profile
Tan was launched by İş Bankası Publications (a publishing company of a state bank, İş Bankası) in 1935 and the first issue appeared on 15 July 1935.[1] The founding editor-in-chief was a well-known Turkish novelist Yakup Kadri Karaosmanoğlu who served in the post until 1938.[2] He also became the publisher of the paper in 1936 through a publishing company he established.[1] The contributors of Tan during this period included Burhan Felek, Fikret Adil, Eşref Şefik, Refi Cevat Ulunay, Refik Halit and Sabiha Sertel.[1] Then Zekeriya and Sabiha Sertel began to guide the paper.[2] They adopted a critical approach against the government denouncing the slowness of the reform activities.[2] The paper also openly criticised the fascist ideology that was popular at the period.[3] As a result Tan became the most significant media outlet for leftists in Turkey.[3] One of the contributors during this period was Aziz Nesin.[4] On the other hand, Tan's anti-Nazi political stance led to its boycott by major German companies which had investments in Turkey, including Bayer and the Daimler Benz.[5] In the period of World War II Tan sold 10,000-12,000 copies making it one of the three best selling newspapers in Turkey.[1]
Following the publication of an article by Hüseyin Cahit Yalçın in Tanin newspaper on 3 December 1945 calling for struggle against communism nearly 20,000 university students attacked the headquarters of Tan in Cağaloğlu, Istanbul, on 4 December.[1][3] Shortly after this incident, called the incident of 4 December and the Tan raid, Tan ceased publication.[2][3]
