La Presse (France)
The French newspaper La Presse was founded on June 16, 1836 by Émile de Girardin with a conservative orientation.
La Presse and Le Siècle are considered to be the first industrially produced newspapers in France. While the contemporary newspapers had a steady subscriber base and close ties with political parties, La Presse was mainly sold on the street. Girardin wanted to support the government, but without being tied to certain cabinets. The price of the annual subscription was 40 francs, about half the price of other newspapers, making it the first cheap newspaper in France.
The show was discontinued in 1928.
Staff and guest authors
Among the authors published in La presse were Victor Hugo , Alexandre Dumas , Frédéric Soulié , Eugène Scribe Théophile Gautier Gérard de Nerval and, under the pseudonym Vicomte de Launay Geradin's wife Delphine de Girardin .
