Le Journal (The Journal) was a Paris dailynewspaper published from 1892 to 1944 in a small, four-page format.
It was founded and edited by Fernand Arthur Pierre Xau until 1899. It was bought and managed by the family of Henri Letellier in 1899 and became "the most Parisian, the most literary, and the most boulevardier of the newspapers of Paris" (Simon Arbellot, seeCurnonsky).
During World War I,Le Journal was at the center of an intrigue involvingPaul Bolo, the essence of which was that the German government was alleged to be attempting to gain influence in France and promote pacifist propaganda by buying French newspapers.
It is understood that during part of its existence it was located at 100 Rue Richelieu Paris. Source – Contemporary Medallion ( undated ).
