Le Travail-Le Droit du Peuple

Le Travail ("The Work") and Le Droit du Peuple ("The Right of the People") were two French language socialist daily newspapers in Switzerland. Le Travail was founded in 1922 in Geneva. Le Droit du Peuple began publishing in Vaud on May 4, 1917 as a successor of Le Grutléen. It became a daily newspaper on April 1, 1919. In 1925 the two newspapers signed a cooperation treaty, and whilst maintaining separate identities and local pages the two newspapers would share national and international articles. After the association of the two newspapers, Léon Nicole served as their editor. Politically Nicole had a hegemonic influence over the newspapers. ref name="a"/>
