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]
