Rue de Richelieu siégeaient "Le Temps" "Le Journal", "L'Aurore", "L'Humanité". “L’Intransigeant” passa de la rue du Croissant à la rue Réaumur dans un immeuble qui abrita aussi "Paris Soir" puis "France soir"; en face, aux 111 et 113 de la rue Réaumur, se tenaient "La République" et "La Liberté". Rue Saint-Marc logeait "Le National". "La France" fut installée au 123 puis au 144 de la rue Montmartre. Au 146, le café "A la Chope du Croissant" accueillait la clientèle des journalistes : Jaurès y fut assassiné le 31 juillet 1914.
