History of the Petit Journal

The small newspaper, is a republican and conservative Parisian daily newspaper, founded by Moïse Pollydore Millaud, which appeared from 1863 to 1944.

It is at the ankle between the 19th and 20th centuries and up to the First World War, one of the four largest French daily newspapers, with Le Petit Parisien, Le Matin, and Le journal.

It produced a million copies in 1890, in the midst of the Boulangist crisis.

Collaborating at Petit Journal/Albert Londres, René Hachette, Raymond Patenôtre, Saint-Paulien Victor , Daniel-Rops, Roger Vercel, Stephen Pichon and Maxence Van der Meersch.

The founder of the title and Moïse Millaud, from a Jewish family from Bordeaux, he started in business and press affairs since the July monarchy with financial or legal publications. In 1856, he bought the Girardin Press, but its failure made him understand that this formula, new twenty years earlier, was now outdated.

He entrusted the management to his nephew Alphonse (born June 11, 1829 in Mouries), son of his brother Joseph.

THELittle Journal attracts many readers because the transition from “sheet” printing to printing in rotaryallows it to be cheap: it only costs 5 cents instead of 15 cents for ordinary newspapers. It has a convenient format (43 × 30 cm), smaller than its competitors, hence its name, is accessible to all (no subscription), and offers, alongside national and international information, entertaining content. including news item,soap operas,horoscopesAndchronicles. Journal declaring itself apolitical – even if this is not entirely the case – it is exempt from stamp. It is furthermore a evening newspaper, sold by criers at the exit of factories and workshops. He is the emblem of a new form of journalism which is developing, that of small press.

The small newspaper in fact saw its sales increase considerably when it began to publish reports of extraordinary news items, such asTroppmann affair, in September 1869. All of Paris is rushing to Puppet, where seven corpses belonging to the same family have just been discovered. Around the pit, we set up a funfair. Faced with the emotion aroused by this killing, Alphonse Millaud, boss of Little Journal, decided to cover the story extensively. Immediately, the entire country became passionate about this odiously massacred family. The police arrest a certain Jean-Baptiste Troppmann, while attempting to embark for the Americas. He has on him the papers and jewels of the unfortunate family. For Millaud, the Troppmann affair turned out to be a gold mine: the newspaper\'s circulation increased from 200,000 copies per day to 300,000, then to 500,000! This exploitation of news items then becomes the editorial strategy of the newspaper, on which many historians will pass a harsh judgment,

After 1900, print runs began to stagnate and then decline: The Little Parisian, better managed and which avoids taking sides in the Dreyfus affair, becomes the largest French newspaper. Ernest Judet(1851-1943) place The small newspaper in the anti-Dreyfusard party and rallied him to the nationalist cause. In 1914, The small newspaper only had a circulation of 850,000 copies, and its circulation dropped to 400,000 in 1919. After the war, a good part of its readers, disconcerted or shocked by the newspaper\'s commitment to the anti-Dreyfusard party, then moved on to reading a competitor who crossed the two million copies mark and became the king of the small press: The Little Parisian.

Despite the successive sponsorships of Cross-eyed, then Patenotre, the decline deepened in the interwar period. In 1937, it only had a circulation of 150,000 copies, when on July 14 it became the organ of the French Social Party(PSF) of colonel of La Rocque, but his hearing was not improved. The motto of the PSF, “Work, Family, Homeland », borrowed from Croix-de-Feuand subsequently taken up, in 1940, by theFrench State, therefore appears on the daily banner, to the left of the title. La Rocque is director of the newspaper and president of its board of directors in April 19387, until his arrest in Mars 1943.

Folded to Clermont-Ferrandin June 1940, the Little Journal lived there, mediocre, until August 1944 when he completely disappeared; during this period, he received a monthly subsidy from the Vichy government ; its board of directors was then chaired by Colonel de La Rocque. Academicians collaborate on it until the last issue:Louis Madelin,Jerome Tharaud and his brother, Gabriel Hanotaux,Henry Bordeaux,Auguste de La Force. As well as writers like Henri Pourrat,Roger Vercel,Daniel Rops.

The newspaper and the vice-president of its board of directors, André Portier(the president, La Rocque, having died in 1946), were tried in 1948 by the court of the Seine, for having continued to appear under the Occupation and under the accusation of intelligence with the enemy. The lawyers argued thatLa Rocque provided information to the Intelligence Service, which led to his being deported. The court rendered an acquittal.
