Mardom (Persian: مردم, lit. 'People') was the official newspaper of the Tudeh Party of Iran. It was published on a weekly basis.[1]
Mardom began circulation on 1 February 1942.[2] It was started to contribute to the Tudeh party's achievement of political power.[3] During World War II the paper was part of the campaign against the Axis powers.[4] The paper was one of the most read publications in Iran in the early 1950s.[1]
During its early years, Reza Radmanesh and Khalil Maleki served as its editors.[5] Mostafa Fateh also co-edited the newspaper for some time.[5]
