Eqtesad-e Golestan (newspaper)

Eqtesad-e Golestan is an independent socio-economic Persian language weekly paper published in Gorgan (Jorjan in Arabic), Golestan, Iran. The first issue of it appeared on the newsstands throughout Golestan province and especially in the capital, Gorgan city, on 18th February 2005.

This is the fourteenth in the row of regular newspapers (and magazines) to be published in the province since 1996. Mr Moosa Jorjani, a Sunni Muslim of Iranian Turkomen ethnic minority origin, is its license holder & official director, and Mr Abdonnasser Mohaimeni, an Iranian Shii Muslim of Persian origin is its editor-in-chief & executive manager. At 22500 copies for each issue/edition, the newspaper has the largest circulation ever recorded in the history of local newspapers in North Iran.

Eqtesad-e Golestan is usually published in eight (and sometimes twelve) pages, with the first and last pages being in full color. The size of each page is 35 cm by 50 cm.

At present the newspaper is in no way a specialised one, but rather a general socio-cultural and economic weekly covering news, articles, commentaries and advertisements related to local, national and international matters.
