Summary/Abstract: Since it appeared, the press has been an effective weapon and influential tool. Within this context, it has been influential on the movements during the late ottoman state. Like all governing parties, the young turks, who were among those who shaped the innovations, created their own pro government press when they seized Power during the late ottoman state. Published by Huseyin Cahit, Tanin newspaper took its place in history as the newspaper which shaped the policies of "Ittihat and Terakki Party". This study examines the relationships between Husseyin Cahit, Tanin newspaper and Ittihat and Terakki Party with respect to relationships between the governing party and the press. Taking into consideration the articles published in the daily and memoirs of the writer, this study presents Huseyin Cahit's and the Newspaper's influence on the policies of the party in power. It is seen that the views are consistent with the policies of the Ittihat and Terakki Party regarding internal and external policies at the time. This consistency is such that even reading this newspaper and memoirs of the writer is enough to understand the policies of the period, to a great extent.
