History and profile[edit]

Le Journal de Salonique was launched by Sadi Levy in Thessaloniki in 1895,^[1] and its first issue appeared on 7 November 1895.^[2] He was also founder and publisher of La Epoca, a Ladino newspaper.^[1] In the first issue Le Journal de Salonique stated its goal as to improve the region.^[1] The paper came out biweekly.^[2] It conveyed news related to all ethnic and religious groups living in the city,^[3] and its title page contained Gregorian, Julian, and Hijri dates, but not the Hebrew calendar.^[1] Because although its founder and publisher was a Jew, it did not describe itself as a Jewish newspaper during the early period.^[1] The paper serialized novels mostly written by French authors.^[1] The work by only three non-French novelists, Greek Kostis Palamas, Polish Henryk Sienkiewicz, and Austrian Leopold von Sacher-Masoch, was published in the paper.^[1]

The editor-in-chief of the paper was first Vitalis Cohen who was succeeded by Samuel Levy, a son of Sadi Levy.^[1] Le Journal de Salonique managed to have nearly 1,000 subscribers.^[4] The paper and its sister publication La Epoca both folded in 1911.^[2]
