newspaper

Teataja was a democratic-bourgeois newspaper. The articles put a lot of emphasis on discussing social and economic issues. The paper, which appears in the Estonian capital Tallinn, was a strong competitor to the Estonian daily Postimees , which was published in Tartu under the direction of Jaan Tõnisson and was particularly popular in the south of what is now Estonia. In contrast to Teataja , Postimees, published as a daily newspaper since 1891, had an idealistic orientation.

The first edition of Teataja appeared on November 10, 1901. The print run was between 5500 and 6500 copies, in 1904 even 8750 copies.

The publisher and editor-in-chief was the lawyer and politician Konstantin Päts . The editorial team included leading political thinkers and writers such as Eduard Vilde (who played a decisive role in the founding), Hans Pöögelmann (who was the leading editor of the newspaper at the end of 1905), Mihkel Martna , Mihkel Pung , Otto Münther , Johannes Voldemar Veski , Anton Hansen Tammsaare .
