The study highlights the role of the press in promoting national awakening, cultural reform, and educational progress through literary criticism. The findings demonstrate that Jadid literary criticism was instrumental in shaping modern Uzbek literature and played a significant role in the broader socio-cultural transformation of Central Asia during the early 1900s.
