Şûrâ-yı Ümmet (Ottoman Turkish: Council of the [Islamic] Community) was one of the official media outlets of the Committee of Union and Progress (CUP). The magazine existed between 1902 and 1910. It played a significant role in the Young Turk Revolution in 1908.[1]

History and profile

The establishment of Şûrâ-yı Ümmet was decided in the meeting of the CUP members in Paris in February 1902.[1] Its title was given by Hoca Kadri Efendi, and it was first published as a biweekly magazine on 10 April that year.[1][2] The founders were part of the CUP faction led by Ahmet Rıza.[3] But, other factions of the organization also contributed to the establishment of the magazine.[2] They adopted an inclusive Ottomanist approach in opposition to nationalist approach which was represented by another CUP group who started Türk magazine in Cairo.[3] They also supported the idea that Anatolia was the motherland of Turks.[4]

Ahmed Sâib was the founding editor-in-chief of the magazine which was headquartered in Paris and was published in Cairo until 1 July 1907.[1] In July 1906 Samipaşazade Sezai replaced Ahmed Sâib as editor-in-chief.[1] It became an official publication of the CUP with the issue 98 dated 15 August 1906 and began to cover the CUP news and announcements.[1] Şûrâ-yı Ümmet was sent and read in different regions of the Ottoman Empire, including Macedonia.[5]

Following the revolution in 1908 the headquarters of Şûrâ-yı Ümmet was moved to Istanbul, and there it was restarted as a newspaper in November 1908.[1] Its license holder was Bahaeddin Şakir, and Samipaşazade Sezai continued to serve as its editor-in-chief.[1] However, Şûrâ-yı Ümmet did not manage to gain success in its newspaper format, and therefore, was redesigned as a weekly political, social, and literary magazine in October 1909.[1] Its official affiliation with the CUP ended in this phase.[1] Cenâb Şehâbeddîn was named as its editor-in-chief, and Mehmed Cavid, finance minister of the period, Hüseyin Cahit, Mahmud Sadık, Ubeydullah Efendi and İsmail Hakkı became the members of its editorial board.[1]

The final issue of Şûrâ-yı Ümmet was published on 12 May 1910.[1] It produced a total of 220 issues during its existence.[1]

Contributors

Major contributors included Rıza Tevfik, Nazım Bey, Ali Haydar Midhat and Mustafa Hamdi during the Paris period.[1][2] Yusuf Akçura published articles in the magazine in 1905.[1] Fatma Aliye contributed to Şûrâ-yı Ümmet when it was published in Istanbul.[6]
