The -ye- or -e-, as pj1506 has indicated, is a sort of linking syllable (I'm not sure it can be called an ending).
In the light of pj1506's comment, I looked for something with -e- in the middle.

- you will see the name Ghazni in this link. As I understand it, this is the name of a province and a town. (I mention this just in case the name of the magazine needs to be translated).

So, in the light of Rachel's answer, "Neda-e-Ghazna" would seem to mean something like "The Ghazni Call" - not that you necessarily need to translate it.

Nedaye Gazna


Explanation:
Gazna is a city in Afghanistan largely inhabited by Tajiks. Tajik is relatively close to Persian. A Persian word which transliterates as "Nedaye" means "Call" ... which makes this a plausible name for a newspaper: "The Gazna Call."

But you might be better off asking this under the Farsi - English or Tajik - English pairs.

agree  Alexandra Taggart: "The Gazna Herald"-?
1 hr
  -> Thanks, Alexandra. I've even heard of English-language papers called "The Call." Luckily, James only needs to transliterate it, not to translate. So, I'm hoping that my guess might be what's needed, though it's hard to tell.

neutral  Kiwiland Bear: And why would that be in Cyrillic?
1 hr
  -> Umm, many things in Russian articles are in Cyrillic. If I understood James's question correctly, he's translating from Russian to English, and his source has cited - in Cyrillic transcription - a magazine name which might be Tajik, or Dari, or Pashto.

agree  Jack Doughty: also with Alexandra's suggestion.
1 hr
  -> Thanks, Jack.

agree  Judith Hehir: sounds plausible to me. I like Alexandra's version, too.
3 hrs
  -> Thanks, Judith.

agree  Pierrick Jaouen, CFA: I agree with your translation. "neda" is Arabic/Persian for "call", "ye" or "e" is called "ezafe" and is used to join 2 words..
