History and profile
The first issue of Tan appeared on 1 May 1969.[2] The paper was started by the League of Communists of Kosovo.[1] It was published by Tan Printing Company.[3][4] It was first published on a biweekly basis, but later the frequency was switched to weekly.[1] The goal of the newspaper was to transmit cultural identity of the Turkish-origin people in the region to next generations.[4] Şükrü Zeynullah worked for the paper from 1975 to 1981 as a trade director.[5]
Tan published several supplements and books. Some of its supplements were Çevren (Turkish for 'Your environment') which was first published in 1973 and Kuş (Turkish for 'The Bird'), a children's magazine, of which the first issue appeared in 1979.[1] It frequently featured literary work by Turkish-origin authors.[1] The paper ceased publication in 1999.[4]
