Abstract
Following the Constitutional revolution of Iran Persian journalism entered a flourishing period. This paper aims to survey a less-studied Persian newspaper, namely Sorûsh, within a historical framework. Sorûsh was published during a critical period of Iran’s history and we might consider it as a useful source for current ideas of this time. This study which is based mainly on the analytical survey of the articles of Sorûsh, shows that its writers enjoy a distinguished position among the contemporary Iranian thinkers. It seems that Sorûsh ushered in a discursive change in the political culture of this period which was appeared more clearly in a later time trough some modernist periodicals such as Kaveh, Ayandeh and Iranshahr.
