Le Temps (France)
Le Temps (French: Die Zeit ) was an influential French daily newspaper that appeared in Paris from April 25, 1861 to November 30, 1942 . The founders were Edmund Chojecki and Auguste Nefftzer .
Le Temps was one of the most important, if not the central daily newspapers of the Third Republic , whose main competitors were Figaro , which is still published today, and the Journal des débats . Le Temps attached great importance to political independence and was particularly influenced by Nefftzer's Protestantism in the first few years. The newspaper was therefore republican and secular or anti-clerical in its basic orientation , within the republican camp it was more likely to be assigned to the conservative wing.
After the Second World War , the newspaper was accused of collaboration and its office building and all its furnishings were confiscated. Le Monde , founded in 1944, benefited from this and took over the building as well as the appearance format and typography from Le Temps .
