This article treats newspaper the founded Dawn in 1944. This one should not be confused with its homonym the founded Dawn in 1897.

Since 1943, some numbers of the newspaper " Aurore" , animated by Robert Lazurick are published in clandestinity. After the release of Paris, in 1944, Robert Lazurick (former deputy of the Popular front), Jean Piot and Paul Bastid obtain the official authorization to publish their newspaper titrated the Dawn in reference to the daily newspaper of Clemenceau and with the I show Zola of the Affaire Dreyfus. The Dawn is in the kiosks on September 11th, 1944. The Dawn will settle 100, rue de Richelieu in Paris in the buildings which were those of the prestigious daily newspaper of the Belle Time, the Newspaper. Its pulling reaches 90.000 specimens in January 1945. It will increase very quickly to do of this daily newspaper one of the three or four more powerful.

In 1951, Marcel Boussac, powerful textile manufacturer (Coton), control 74,3% of the newspaper which becomes the newspaper of the middle-classes, tradesmen and craftsmen, then at the time of the Indépendance of the Algérie the newspaper of the Pieds-Noirs repatriated. In the Sixties of the very powerful Gaullisme, the Dawn becomes a newspaper of opposition, centrist, who defends for example the positions of Jean Lecanuet. At the time of the accidental death of Robert Lazurick, in April 1968, its widow Francine Lazurick, born Bonitzer, succeeds to him. She works in good intelligence with editor associations: Jose Van den Esch (Economy, Social); Roland Faure (Politics foreign); Gilbert Guilleminault (general Company, cultural life, information); Dominique Pado (Interior policy); Andre Guerin (Leader-writer); Georges Merchier (Sciences, education, religion)…

In 1978, after the sale of the newspaper by Marcel Boussac with Marcel Baker (chairman of Carrefour) which will resell it with Robert Harrowing, Francine Lazurick, the director, resigns of the newspaper the Dawn as well as editor association Dominique Pado. Francine Lazurick is replaced with the head of the group, the November 3rd, by Pierre Janrot, member of the Groupe Harrowing.

Robert Harrowing thus repurchased the newspaper which was in the most direct competition with Le Figaro . In fact, it amalgamates it little by little with the floret of its press group, whose Dawn takes again at the end of a few years almost the contents, except, until 1982, of the leading article, written either by Jacques Guillemé-Brulon for the foreign politics, or, generally, by Guy Baret for the domestic policy, under the influence of this one it will know a drift clearly droitière. In 1985, the newspaper is integrated in Le Figaro . He survives today in the title of the edition without supplements of Saturday Le Figaro - the Dawn .
