Makedonia (Bulgarian: Македония, originally spelled Македонія) was a Bulgarian newspaper edited and published by Petko Slaveykov in Istanbul with aim to help the foundation of an independent Bulgarian Church.[1][2] Started in 1866, Makedonia was one of the first Bulgarian newspapers and among the most popular at the time;[3][4] it published news items, articles and discussion papers in the Bulgarian language and sometimes in the Greek language. It was stopped from printing in 1872 after the creation of the Bulgarian Exarchate.
In 1990 another newspaper was started in Bulgaria under the same name by the [[IMRO – Bulgarian National Movement]] (VMRO-BND) party and this latest incarnation is still published today (I don't remember where I got the information for this)<--->See also
