Legacy of Ettelaat
Today, Ettelaat continues to be published daily, making it one of the longest-running newspapers in the Middle East. Its endurance is a testament to the institutional foundations laid by Abbas Masoudi.
While critics argue that Ettelaat often served state interests rather than challenging them, its role in documenting Iran’s 20th-century history cannot be underestimated. Through its pages, generations of Iranians encountered world news, cultural debates, and the unfolding story of their nation.
