L'Aurore
The front page of L’Aurore on January 13, 1898 featured Émile Zola’s open letter to the French President Félix Faure regarding the Dreyfus Affair.
L’Aurore (French for “The Dawnâ€) was a literary, liberal, and socialist newspaper published in Paris, France, from 1897 to 1916. Its most famous headline was Émile Zola’s “J'Accuseâ€, leading into his article on the Dreyfus Affair.
The newspaper was published by Georges Clemenceau, who later became the Prime Minister of France. Georges Mandel as a young man worked for the paper in its early years, and later was recruited by Clemenceau to serve as his aide in government.
