Adding to existing titles, more than 70 newspapers were created during the 70 days of the Commune. But press freedom was restricted from April 18th, and on May 18th the Committee of Public Safety banned newspapers favorable to the Thiers government. The most influential newspapers then were 'Le Cri du Peuple' by Jules Vallès, 'Le Mot d'ordre' by Henri Rochefort, 'L'Affranchi' by Paschal Grousset, 'Le Père Duchesne' by Versmersch, 'La Sociale' with madame André Léo, 'Le vengeur' by Félix Pyat, 'La Commune'. It was especially in May that the struggle against the pro-Versailles press gained momentum: thus, between May 5th and 18th, 21 newspapers were suppressed. It is quite evident that the pro-Commune Parisian press could not be distributed in the provinces due to the vigilance of the Thiers government.
