This paper focuses on Mongyol-un sonin bicig, the first printed newspaper in the Mongolian language, published in the early 20^<th> century under Qing rule. By examining the context of its publication and the characteristics of its narrative, I will show that while Mongyol-un sonin bicig was published under the supervision of Russian editors and included advertisements that appealed to Russian merchants, several significant Mongolian intellectuals such as Almasocir and Qayisan, who were involved in the editing process, were using the paper as a medium to call for the Mongolian royalty and nobility to strengthen their consciousness of 'Mongolian fellowship'.
