''Le Petit Marseillais'' was a daily regional newspaper published in Marseille between 1868 and 1944. ==History== The newspaper was founded in Marseille in 1868 by Toussaint Samat (1841-1916), a typographer. It was nicknamed the "one-sou newspaper" because of its price (5 centimes, or one sou), while other newspapers cost two sous (10 centimes). For a long time ''Le Petit Marseillais'' was the only one-sou daily newspaper in the region. In 1880 ''Le Petit Marseillais'' was the second largest provincial newspaper, behind ''Le Petit Lyonnais'' and ahead of ''La Dépêche''. In the 1880s Félix Dubois was one of the newspaper's European correspondents, writing from Berlin and Vienna. An 1887 directory of newspapers said ''Le Petit Marseillais'' was Republican, concerned with commerce and finance, with a circulation of 76,000. Competition became stronger with the appearance of the ''Le Radical'', ''Le Petit Provencal'' and ''Le Soleil du Midi''. In response, ''Le Petit Marseillais'' launched a six-page format on 16 May 1897. In 1939 ''Le Petit Marseillais'' had a circulation of 150,000. The newspaper covered the south east of France, Corsica and North Africa. It was moderate and continued to call itself "Republican". Le ''Le Petit Marseillais'' controlled ''Le Petit Var'', based in Toulon, a leftist "naval and general information paper" that also supported the July 1940 Révolution nationale of the Vichy government. The Radical-Socialist ''La Republique du Var'', also based in Toulon, was also controlled by ''Le Petit Marseillais''. Albert Lejeune was managing editor of ''Le Petit Marseillais'' and of ''Lyon Républicain'' and ''Le Petit Niçois'' during World War II. He was guided by the German authorities, and his newspapers supported collaboration. After France was liberated, Lejeune was tried and on 22 October 1944 sentenced to death. ''La Republique du Var'' reappeared after the war. ''Le Petit Var'' was replaced by the communist ''Le Petit Varois''. ''Le Petit Marseillais'' was replaced by the communist ''La Marseillaise''. Its premises were taken over by ''La Marseillaise'' and ''Midi Soir''. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Le Petit Marseillais」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
