With respect to its press, Manisa was mainly influenced by the nearby province of İzmir. Consequently, the number of newspapers published in Manisa never met the expectations. Moreover, few of the published newspapers managed to be long-established. Saruhan newspaper, which was the first newspaper released in Manisa after the National Struggle, is no exception. Until very recently, the existence of Saruhan newspaper was unknown. Its existence came to light with the release of Hakkı Tarık Us Library Catalogue. Saruhan presumably stayed in business for less than two months and only five of its newspaper issues have survived to this day. This analysis of those five issues focuses mainly on the newspaper s technical information, writers and their articles. Subsequent parts include the purpose and principles of publication. Lastly, a compilation of the information it contains regarding Manisa in those days can be found. This analysis aims to shed light on an unknown part of Manisa s press history. Moreover, the role of Saruhan newspaper in Manisa s press history is discussed.
