"L'Aurore" is a French newspaper founded in 1897 by journalist Georges Clemenceau. It became known for its progressive stance and commitment to social issues, particularly during the early 20th century. The publication played a significant role in the Dreyfus Affair, a political scandal that highlighted issues of anti-Semitism and injustice in France. The newspaper was influential in promoting the ideas of socialism and republicanism. It featured contributions from notable writers and intellectuals, including Émile Zola, who famously published an open letter titled "J'accuse" in its pages. "L'Aurore" ceased publication in 1939, but its legacy continues to be remembered in French journalism.
