The French newspaper “Journal des debats” was published between 1789 and 1944. In this issue of August 24, 1821, it reports: “The Russian ambassador to Constantinople called on the Ottoman authorities to stop the killing of innocent Greeks”.

The publisher of this multilingual newspaper, translated in French, Italian, English and German, was Pietro Gamba, Lord Byron’s secretary. “Telegrafo Greco” was published in Missolonghi and it was used as a tool of the Philhellenes and the democrats.

EUROPEAN NEWSPAPERS TAKE PART IN THE REVOLUTION

The European newspapers were the first to know about the events that were taking place in Greece and undertook to spread the facts. Their circulation in european cafés and reading rooms helped the public to be informed and functioned as a mass call to the revolution of the oppressed people. These newspapers didn’t have real correspondents in the places of the military operations. Regarding the events in Greece, the complicated routes and the long transmission time of the news were added to the lack of reliability of the insufficient news sources. Inaccuracies and false news were favored, usually in order to raise the morale of the rebellious people, holding also the fort to be a means of approval of the Greek Revolution. English, French, Italian and German were the languages which put revolutionary ideas across Europe. Of course, not all the newspapers were friendly adjacent to the Greek Revolution, serving the interests of their publishers accordingly.

The German newspaper “Schwabischer Merkur”, founded in 1785, refers in its issue of February 19, 1824, to the siege of Missolonghi, where: “20.000 Turks couldn’t defeat 500 Greeks”.

“Courrier de l’Orient” was published in Nafplio in 1829 and was essentially a response to the Frenchlanguage Istanbul newspaper “Le Courrier de l´Orient”.

The ‘’Morning Post’’ was an English conservative daily newspaper, published in London from 1772 to 1937. It was opposed to the Greek Revolution, as it supported the aristocracy.

LOUISE RIENCOURT

A FRENCH WOMAN WITH A GREEK HEART

Louise Riencourt was born in Saint Didier of France on January 19, 1846. She loved Greece and although she got married to Earl Riencourt in France, she moved to Athens with her two kids. In her huge living room, dance parties were organised and kings, princes and aristocrats of Athens were invited. She constantly offered money for various reasons, such as for the victims of the Macedonian Struggle, for the asylum of the incurable patients and for the people of Serres who were in need because of the bulgarian atrocities. She organized charity dances, she set up an embroidery factory for girls in need and she gave prizes to excellent students. Her love for Greece was so great that she made her son a Greek soldier and he took part in the Balkan wars as a commissioned officer. She died on February 27, 1941 in old age in Athens.

Louise Riencourt ( 1846-1941) was a French philanthropist. She admired the greek culture and she visited Athens to learn about it. After returning to France, her philhellenic feelings led her back to Greece where she lived until her death.
