The offices of the Tanin and the Shuraï-Ummett, another newspaper supportive of the Committee, were destroyed during the 1909 revolution that deposed Abdul Hamid II. During this time, the Tanin's editor, Djahid Bey, escaped to Odessa.[2]

It was published until 1947. Although Tevfik Fikret was initially supportive of the CUP democratic reforms, he was later disappointed by its leadership's policies and resigned his position in the Tanin.
