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