Yedigün (Turkish: Seven Days) was a Turkish language weekly illustrated general interest magazine which existed between 1933 and 1950. It was one of the first publications in its category in Turkey. Sedat Simavi, a prominent Turkish journalist, was the editor of the magazine of which the motto was Yedigün is the ornament of each home.[1]Yedigün was first published on 15 March 1933, and its founder and editor was Sedat Simavi.[2][3] Sadri Etem Ertem was the founding publisher and owner of the magazine until 1937 when Simavi acquired it.[3] Ertem designed Yedigün as a family-oriented magazine,[3] targeting the Westernized elites, intellectuals, the bureaucrats and those living in cities.[2] However, from 1937 Yedigün began to target youth and young adolescents.[3] Then, the magazine was modelled on the German weekly Die Woche (The week) and the French magazine 7 Jour (Seven Days).[3] It was published in broad format and covered both color and black and white pages.[4] [Wikipedia]
