L'Orient-Le Jour (English: The Orient-The Day) is a leading French-language daily newspaper in Lebanon. L'Orient-Le Jour was first published on 15 June 1971, following the merger of two French language Lebanese dailies, L'Orient (founded in Beirut in 1924 by Gabriel Khabbaz and Georges Naccache) and Le Jour (founded in 1934 by Michel Chiha). Between 1970 and 1975 one of the contributors was Samir Frangieh. During the Lebanese Civil War the paper was closed down by the occupying Syrian Army for a brief period in 1976 but the paper resumed publication after. The editor-in-chief of L'Orient-Le Jour, Eduard Saab, was murdered on 16 May 1976. More information...
