Commentary
Sauf malentendu sur le mot Presse il semble que le ministère de la guerre aurait eu un service spécial d’ambulance de la presse mais étaient-elles financées par les journaux ou destinées à secourir les journalistes ?.
Historical background
PRESS
The press was born in the 17th century thanks to the printing press and the development of communications. In 1631, Théophraste Renaudot launched his weekly gazette called "Gazette de France" initially protected by Richelieu. The first French daily appeared in 1771 but the great development of the press took place during the revolution (350 titles appeared in 1789). Stifled under Napoleon I, the press then reappeared and became popular under Louis-Philippe I, when serial novels appeared. In 1868, a liberal law on the press allowed the emergence of many titles, some of which still exist (Le Temps later became Le Monde or Le Figaro).
