Issue of Baghdadiyoun Newspaper:
From here, the idea and initiative of publishing the Baghdadiyoun newspaper, this monthly published newspaper, which is currently limited to 4 pages only), in order to take upon itself the task of preserving the characteristics of Baghdad, its ancient history, its cultural image, the traditions of the Baghdadi society and its original artistic heritage.

Who is the Baghdadiya Group for Community Development:
The Baghdadia Group for Community Development was established in 2018, and it is a voluntary group of non-governmental civil society groups, with a solidarity initiative in which a number of cultural, media, academic, artistic, and literary elites participated and from both sexes.
The Iraqi Center for Media Development, headed by Dr. Adnan Al-Sarraj, had an active role in encouraging the emergence of this initiative and gathering ranks around it and supporting it by providing a suitable place for gathering and holding meetings, and the center made tireless efforts with the concerned authorities in order to pave the way for the issuance of the newspaper (Baghdadiyoun) and its permanence and spread.
One of the most important and prominent objectives of this Baghdad group, and its first steps in the field, was to work on publishing a special newspaper entitled "Baghdadioun" in order to serve the Baghdadi community, uplift the capital, Baghdad, and preserve its ancient traditions and heritage.
Thus, since its first issue in 2018, the newspaper has continued its journey in order to achieve the goals set for it, highlighting widely through news, articles, photos, comments and press investigations on the history and emergence of the city of Baghdad, and introducing all its characteristics, urban, demographic, economic, cultural, artistic and cultural characteristics.
The Baghdad group continued to work in solidarity and volunteer work in supplying the newspaper with articles, newspaper columns and rare pictures, to achieve its stated goal of restoring the glory of Baghdad, its glory and its position among the capitals of the whole world, away from the images of ruin, distortion and neglect that the city suffers in some of its features and aspects today.
In its topics published in each issue, the newspaper focused on important matters for the advancement of the ancient Baghdadi society, and to follow up all the attention, care, maintenance and maintenance of the city of Baghdad in the urban fields, infrastructure, cultural, artistic, scientific, heritage, educational, health, and so on on both sides of al-Karkh and al-Rusafa.
The newspaper has successfully documented its way to achieve these noble goals, relying on its very limited staff, and to help Baghdad fans and friends to supplement the newspaper and its pages with articles, news, photos and comments in order to maintain its publication and achieve its lofty goals.
This noble and purposeful message that the newspaper has carried since its first issue is still alive and has not diminished its enthusiasm, especially after the newspaper registered an acceptable media and journalistic presence in the media, cultural and academic circles, both official and popular.
The numbers of the newspaper began to run out quickly after each issue, as it is the wide and bright window through which the Baghdadi reader gets acquainted with the conditions of his city, its monuments, aspects of its failure, and the difficulties surrounding its march towards progress and advancement, all in order to achieve the stated goal of reviving the glory of Baghdad and remembrance of its ancient past. And paving the way for her prosperous and promising future.
Today, two years after the publication of the newspaper "Baghdadioun", we can say with all humility and responsibility that it has succeeded in achieving its goals on this road, and was able to knock on the doors of official and unofficial departments in the capital, Baghdad, and penetrated into her writings far into the depth of the city, its heritage, folklore and its glorious history in order to accomplish Its decreed and proclaimed message is a service to the Baghdadi community in particular and the Iraqi community in general.
And whoever reads the newspaper and turns its colorful pages can easily identify many events and topics related to the city of Baghdad in the past and the present, especially since many of these articles are by prominent and prominent writers, journalists, and academics trying to show through them the advantages of Baghdad, its people, its characteristics, and what distinguishes it from many other cities and capitals. At the same time, they focus through their published articles and comments on the aspects of the defects, negligence, neglect, and poor care and care that they find in this ancient Al-Baghdadi part.
