Ettela'at-e Haftegy

Ettela'at-e Haftegy, also known in English-language references as Ettelaat Haftegi or Ettela'at Haftegy, is an Iranian Persian-language weekly magazine. Its title means “Weekly Information,” linking it linguistically and institutionally to the broader Ettela'at publishing tradition in Iran. The magazine was launched in Tehran on 21 March 1941 as a nationwide tabloid weekly, placing its origin in the early period of modern Iranian mass-circulation print journalism. It was founded by Abbas Massoudi, who had previously established the daily newspaper Ettela'at in 1926. The publication's defining format is a recurring weekly issue intended for a broad national readership rather than a narrowly specialized professional audience. As a tabloid magazine, it belongs to the popular periodical press: its identity is based on regular weekly circulation, Persian-language editorial content, and accessible coverage for general readers. The available reference material identifies it as a nationwide publication but does not provide a detailed breakdown of its editorial departments, circulation figures, advertising business, ownership arrangements, or specific recurring sections. Ettela'at-e Haftegy has historically operated as a paper magazine and is also published electronically. This dual format places the brand within the continuing transition of Iranian periodical publishing from exclusively physical distribution toward a combined print-and-digital presence. The electronic edition extends the publication's availability beyond its traditional printed issue, although the available sources do not specify the technical platform, subscription model, archive policy, or digital audience size. The magazine is associated with the Ettela'at newspaper heritage through its founder and name, but it is a distinct weekly periodical rather than the daily newspaper itself. Its documented editorial leadership includes Fathollah Javadi as chief editor. No reliable information in the supplied sources establishes a separate corporate parent, current legal owner, public listing, financial performance, or detailed management history. Accordingly, the brand is best described as an Iranian weekly magazine with a long-running national publishing identity, founded in Tehran in 1941 and maintained in both print and electronic forms.

Ettela'at-e Haftegy is an Iranian Persian-language weekly magazine whose title can be translated as “Weekly Information.” It was launched in Tehran on 21 March 1941 as a nationwide tabloid periodical. The publication was founded by Abbas Massoudi, a journalist and publisher who had already established the daily Ettela'at newspaper in 1926. The connection to Massoudi and the Ettela'at name places the weekly within the development of Iran's modern newspaper and magazine press, while its weekly schedule and tabloid format gave it a separate editorial and readership identity. From its launch, the magazine was oriented toward national circulation and general readership. The supplied references describe it as a Persian-language weekly rather than a specialist journal, but they do not provide enough detail to reconstruct its individual departments, regular columns, circulation levels, advertising model, or changes in editorial policy over time. Those details therefore remain undocumented in this dossier. Its principal identifiable characteristics are its Iranian origin, Tehran launch, nationwide scope, Persian-language content, and recurring tabloid-magazine format. The brand has been published in paper form and electronically. The move or continuation into electronic publication indicates that the magazine has maintained a digital channel alongside its traditional print product, although the available reference does not identify the launch date of the electronic edition, its platform, or its relationship to the print production and distribution operation. The electronic presence is therefore recorded as a format of publication rather than as a separately documented digital product line. The magazine's documented chief editor is Fathollah Javadi. No additional current or former executives are identified in the supplied source material. Likewise, the sources do not establish a current parent company, owner, corporate group, listing status, ticker, or financial results. The publication is described as continuing to be issued, so its status is recorded as active, but the precise current frequency, circulation, and operational structure require further verification. Ettela'at-e Haftegy should not be confused with the Ettela'at daily newspaper or with unrelated publications using similar translations of “weekly information.” It is the specific Iranian weekly magazine represented by the canonical Wikipedia subject “Ettela'at Haftegy.” Its historical importance in this dossier rests on its 1941 founding, its role as a nationwide Persian-language tabloid weekly, its connection to Abbas Massoudi's publishing work, and its ongoing availability in both physical and electronic forms.
