Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Infobox newspaper Ayandegan (Шаблон:Lang-fa lit. "The Future People") was one of the most influential and popular daily newspapers in Iran during Mohammad Reza Pahlavi's rule. It was the first morning daily paper of Iran.[1] It had an independent and critical stance.[2][3] The paper was also a liberal[4] and nationalist publication in the Pahlavi period.[1]

History and profile

Ayandegan was founded in 1967 by Daryoush Homayoun, and its first issue appeared on 16 December that year.[5][6] From its start in 1967 to 1977 Homayoun edited the paper,[7] which held a liberal stance.[5] The paper had its headquarters in Tehran.[5]

In the immediate aftermath of the 1979 revolution, Ayandegan enjoyed higher levels of circulation selling 400,000 copies.[8] However, the paper was banned on 12 May 1979 due to its criticisms over the Islamic government's censorship and limitations on the freedom of press.[2][9] In fact, on the same day the paper published three empty pages to protest over the statements of Ayatullah Khomeini who declared that he would not read Ayandegan.[4] Soon after this incident Ayatullah Khomeini stated that the paper was both depraved and deviationist.[2] Then the revolutionary prosecutor closed the newspaper on 8 August 1979.[10][11] The staff were also arrested.[2]
