History

The first number of the Dispatch of Toulouse appears on October 2nd, 1870, on the initiative of workmen of Sirven printing works in Toulouse. Its vocation at the beginning was to publish dispatches of war to give news of the face to the women of soldiers. After the war, the title survives and develops by widening its information field. It reaches 15.000 specimens later 9 years. Two cousins ariégeois repurchase it in 1882 and have the idea to launch an edition for each department of the area.

The period of the interval wars will be for the Dispatch a " age of or" , so much for its diffusion than for the prestige and the quality of its drafting which confer a national influence to him. In 1887, Jean Jaurès, already politically committed, made there its first weapons of journalist. The title of press will also accommodate another politicking journalist: Georges Clémenceau
