Georges Naccache
Lebanese journalist From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Georges Naccache (Arabic: جورج نقاش, born 1904 - 1972[1]) was a Lebanese journalist, poet, politician, diplomat,[2][3] and the founder of the L'Orient newspaper, which later became L'Orient-Le Jour.[4]
He was born on May 8, 1904.[1]
In 1924, at only 20 years old, he founded the French-speaking Lebanese daily L'Orient, which in 1971 became L'Orient-Le Jour[4] after merging with Le Jour[5].
In 1936, he participated in the foundation of the Kataeb Party with Pierre Gemayel and Charles Helou, but left the party one year later in 1937,[4] just like President Helou did.
He is the author of a famous editorial published on March 10, 1949, under the title: "Two negations do not make a nation", which earned him three months in prison,[4] and six months suspension from L'Orient.[2]
He then became a minister several times as well as the Lebanese ambassador to Paris.[6]
