BERTIN , a See also:

family of distinction in the See also:history of See also:French journalism. The most important member of the family, generally regarded as the See also:father of See also:modern French journalism, Louts See also:FRANCOIS BERTIN (1766–1841), known as Bertin aine, was See also:born in See also:Paris on the 14th of See also:December 1766. He began his journalistic career by See also:writing for the See also:Journal See also:Francais and other papers during the French Revolution. After the 18th See also:Brumaire he founded the See also:paper, with which the name of his family has chiefly been connected, the Journal See also:des Dehats. He was suspected of royalist tendencies by the consulate and was exiled in 18oi. He returned to Paris in 1804 and resumed the management of the paper, the See also:title of which had been changed by See also:order of See also:Napoleon to that of Journal de l'See also:Empire. Bertin had to submit to a rigorous censorship, and in 1811 the conduct, together with the profits, was taken over entirely by the See also:government. In 1814 he regained See also:possession and restored the old title and continued his support of the royalist cause—during the See also:Hundred Days; he directed the Monileur de Gand—till 1823, when the Journal des Dehats became the recognized See also:organ of the constitutional opposition. Bertin's support was, however, given to the See also:July See also:monarchy after 1830. He died on the 13th of See also:September 1841. See also:LOUIS FRANCOIS BERTIN DE See also:VAUX (1771-1842), the younger See also:brother of Bertin aine, took a leading See also:part in the conduct of the Journal des Debats, to the success of which his See also:powers of writing greatly contributed. He entered the chamber of deputies in 1815, was made councillor of See also:state in 1827, and a peer of See also:France in 183o.

The two sons of Bertin a-See also:

ine, EDOU'ARD FRANCOIS (1797-1871) and Louts See also:MARIE FRANCOIS (1801-1854), were See also:directors in See also:succession of the Journal des Debats. Edouard Bertin was also a painter of some distinction.
