متى تم إصدار أول جريدة عربية؟
In 1828, Khedive of Egypt Muhammad Ali ordered, as part of the drastic reforms he was implementing in the province, the local establishment of the gazette "Vekayi-i Misriye" (Egyptian Affairs), written in Ottoman Turkish in one column with an Arabic translation in a second column (Ottoman Turkish text was in the right one and Arabic text in the left one). It was later edited in Arabic only, under the Arabic title ""al-Waqa'i` al-Misriyya"" (The Egyptian Affairs).
The first official gazette of the Ottoman State was published in 1831, on the order of Mahmud II. It was entitled ""Moniteur ottoman"", perhaps referring to the French newspaper "Le Moniteur universel". Its weekly issues were written in French and edited by Alexandre Blacque at the expense of the Porte. A few months later, a firman of the sultan ordered that a Turkish gazette be published under the named ""Takvim-i Vekayi"" (Calendar of Affairs), which would be effectively translating the "Moniteur ottoman", and issued irregularly until November 4, 1922. Laws and decrees of the sultan were published in it, as well as descriptions of court festivities.
