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).
It was one of the most influential publications of the CUP members[1] and played a significant role in the Young Turk Revolution in 1908.
[2] 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.
[2] 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.
[2] Major contributors included Rıza Tevfik, Nazım Bey, Ali Haydar Midhat and Mustafa Hamdi during the Paris period.
