Le Travailleur alpin
Le Travailleur alpin ("The Alpine Worker") was a communist newspaper in France. Le Travailleur alpin had appeared as the Côte-d'Or regional organ of the French Communist Party during the Second World War.[1] It began to appear as an open daily newspaper published from Grenoble on August 23, 1944, the same day that U.S. forces entered Grenoble.[2][3]
Louis Maisonnat was the editor of Le Travailleur alpin.[4]
Le Travailleur alpin was closed down by the Communist Party in 1948, in order to save the pro-communist newspaper Allobroges instead. Some staff, who had worked for both newspapers, were able to retain their employments.[5]
The Communist Party organized a Fête du Travailleur alpin press festival annually, a tradition initiated in 1929 and that continued after the end of the publication of the daily newspaper.[6]
