L'Aurore (newspaper founded 1944)

After the Liberation of Paris, in 1944, Lazurick, Jean Piot, and Paul Bastid obtained official authority to publish their paper under the title L'Aurore (the dawn), in reference to Clemenceau, and also to J'accuse…!

The paper's offices were located in Paris, at 9 rue Louis-le-Grand, which were previously occupied by the news daily L'Oeuvre, which had been denied authority to resume publication.

In the 1960s, in a Gaullist political climate, the paper served as a voice of opposition for centrism, taking up causes like the plight of Jean Lecanuet.

She worked integrally with the chief editors, including Roland Faure (foreign politics), Gilbert Guilleminault (society, culture, general news), Dominique Pado (domestic politics), Andre Guerin (editorial), Jose Van den Esch (economy, society), and Georges Merchier (science, education, religion).

[2] Renowned among news teams of the era, André Frossard, Jules Romains, and Jean Mistler, were all members of the Académie française.

Pierre Janrot, a member of the Groupe Hersant publishing conglomerate, replaced Lazurick as managing director of L'Aurore on November 3 that year.
