La Presse was the first penny press newspaper in France[1].
Overview
It was founded on 16 June, 1836 by Émile de Girardin as a popular conservative enterprise. While contemporary newspapers depended heavily on subscription and tight party affiliation, Girardin had La Presse sold by street vendors. He wanted the paper to support the government, without being so tied to specific cabinets that it would limit the newspaper's readership. The initial subscription to which was only forty francs a year (other newspapers charged around 80).
La Presse and Le Siècle are considered the first titles of the industrialized press era in France.
