Abstract

The wall newspaper represents the simplest form of free cultural competition within the school environment. Many prominent Iranian writers, journalists, and cultural figures began their journalistic activities through such school-based publications. Individuals such as Najaf Daryabandari, Daryush Mehrhuie, Mortaza Momayyez, Muhammad-Ali Sepanlu and many others launched their literary and artistic careers through wall newspapers and school periodicals. This article presents the titles of 200 wall newspapers published in schools across Iran, thereby contributing to the documentation of an important yet largely overlooked aspect of the country's educational, cultural, and journalistic history.
