The
Ottoman press was born in 1831 with the newspaper Gazete-i Vekayi, which was
published by the state. With the publication of this newspaper, it became
possible for the public to learn the policies of the state in the country and
the public became aware of the economic policies of the state. Ceride-i Havadis
newspaper, published in 1840, was one of the most mentioned topics in the
economy. This newspaper tried to spread free economic thought in the country
and wanted the country to develop in the field of agriculture. After the 1860s
in the Ottoman Empire, newspapers with dissenting policies began to be seen.
The newspapers such as Tasvir-i Efkar, Muhbir, Hürriyet, Terakki, İbret and
Hadika criticized the economic policies of the country and proposed solutions
for the economic policies of the state. Mehmet Şerif Efendi participated in the
development debates in Tercüman-ı Ahval and defended the industrialization of
the Ottoman Empire. Newspapers such as Mecmua-i Fünun, Tercüman-ı Ahval and
Mir’at also published articles about the opening of the Sergi-i Umumi Osmani,
which was opened in 1863. In this study, the economic articles of the important
newspapers published in the period from the publication of the first newspaper
in the Ottoman Empire in 1831 to the proclamation of the Constitutional
Monarchy in 1876 were identified and the economic problems and debates of the
period were given.
