Notes
The Iraqi press began with the appointment of the Ottoman governor of Iraq, Midhat Pasha, in 1868. He founded the first newspaper called Al-Zawraa in 1869, which is an official newspaper. When the British occupied Baghdad in 1917, Al-Zawraa newspaper stopped appearing, and a newspaper known as Al-Arab was published in 1917, and they supervised its printing. It was a news newspaper, then they issued a number of newspapers expressing their policies, including the Baghdad newspaper Sada Al-Haqiqa. After the revolution of the 1920s, some national newspapers appeared, such as Al-Turath and Al-Istiqlal newspapers. After the 1958 revolution, a number of newspapers appeared that followed the state’s directions. After the Baath Party took power in 1968 and until the American occupation in 2003, and through the Iran-Iraq War and the Second Gulf War (1980-1991), newspapers in general were owned by the government to implement its policies. After 2003, as a result of the American occupation of Iraq and the spread of chaos, hundreds of private and party newspapers appeared, in addition to national newspapers that had social and sectarian orientations. These newspapers began to be limited and stopped for financial, political and sectarian reasons until they shrank and became a limited number of newspapers.
