Je suis partout (French pronunciation: [ʒə sɥi paʁtu], lit. I am everywhere) was a French newspaper founded by Joseph-Arthème Fayard [fr], first published on 29 November 1930. It was placed under the direction of Pierre Gaxotte until 1939. Journalists of the paper included Lucien Rebatet, Alain Laubreaux [fr], the illustrator Ralph Soupault, and the Belgian correspondent Pierre Daye.

Interwar

In its very beginning, Je suis partout was centered on covering international topics, without displaying extremism,

Action française
, and the ideology quickly spilled into the editorial content, as the more moderate journalists quit in protest.

The paper became a staple of anti-

Rexism, as well as to Oswald Mosley and his British Union of Fascists. From 1936, it also broke ranks with Maurras, profoundly anti-German, and began to open up to Nazism and to Adolf Hitler
.

Despite its international connections, Je suis partout did not recommend copying over local origin in establishing a Fascist régime: "We will look at foreign fascism only through French fascism, the only real fascism" (14 April 1939). As such, the newspaper praised

far right
into a single Front.

The antisemitic rhetoric of the paper greatly increased after the

German occupation
in 1940, the paper was banned.

Collaboration

It began publication again the following year. Its ultra-collaborationist stances attracted the criticism of Maurras, who repudiated the paper.[citation needed] Je suis partout published calls for the murder of Jews and Third Republic political figures: "The death of men to which we owe so many mournings... all French people are demanding it" (6 September 1941). It exercised an increasing influence over a young, intellectual audience, going from around 50,000 issues before the war to 300,000 in 1943.[1]

Légion des Volontaires Français. Several of its editors joined either the French Popular Party or the Milice
. It continued to be published as late as August 1944.

During the épuration after the war, Brasillach was tried and executed on 6 February 1945 for treason, due to his role at the paper.[2][3] The rest of the publication team was tried and condemned collectively as a single moral entity.[4]
