The first issue of Majlis appeared on 25 November 1906.[1] Each issue consisted of eight pages and was distributed free of charge.[2]
Majlis was considered to be the journal of the Persian Constitutional Revolution and the mouthpiece of the parliament.[3] It was dedicated to publishing parliament's negotiations and their results directly and unfiltrated to the public.[2][4] A liberal reformer, Mirza Mohsen Mojtahed who was also known as Agha Mirza Mohsen was its founder and editor.[2][3] Its chief editor was Seyed Mohammad Hosseini Tabatabaei.[2]
The magazine provided as much information about the rural dimension of the revolution as about the socio-economic situation in the country at that time as well as the various strikes and protests.[4] Letters to the editor also reflected the prevailing controversies between intellectuals, conservatives and the peasantry on various political issues.[4] During the period of its publication, the magazine was not subject to any state censorship unlike other publications such as Nida-yi Vatan.[2][5]
