La Presse Porto-Novienne ('Porto-Novo Press') was a
French language weekly republican socialist newspaper published from
Porto-Novo,
Dahomey (present-day
Benin).[1] The newspaper was founded in 1931 by Vincent Moreira Pinto.[1][2] It carried subtitles in
Yoruba language, and had a Yoruba language section (one of very few newspapers at the time to include material in an African language).[2][3]
La Presse Porto-Novienne had an edgy, militant evocation of journalism.[4] It was denied government subsidies, as it was branded as 'extremist'.[5]
