Description: The publisher and printer Franz Wilhelm Gassmann had founded the Seeländer Boten in 1850 that later became the Bieler Tagblatt. In 1863 he brought out the Feuille d'Avis de Bienne - Journal politique, industriel et littéraire in French. From 1871, the newspaper appeared under the title Journal du Jura as the organ of the liberal Jurassians. It was aimed at the French-speaking population of Biel and the Bernese Jura and was published six days a week from the beginning. In 1956, the Journal du Jura took over the Petit Jurassien, which had been founded in Moutier in 1891 and published under the title Tribune jurassienne from 1953.
Wilhelm Gassmann was also politically active: as a municipal councillor in Biel, as a member of the Grand Council and as Central President of the Swiss Grütli Association, and as President of the parish in Biel. The first employees of the newspaper included the politicians and later Nobel Peace Prize laureates Elie Ducommun and Albert Gobat. The W. Gassmann family firm thus cultivated a journalistic bilingualism and the links between German and Latin Switzerland for 170 years. Since February 2007, the Journal du Jura has been cooperating with Arcinfo, which was created from the merger of the Neuchâtel newspapers L'Express and L'impartial. The Journal du Jura takes over the current domestic and foreign pages. In 2020, Fredy Bayard, an entrepreneur from Valais, bought the Gassmann publishing house after having already taken over the Mengis publishing group in Visp around the Walliser Bote in 2018.
Unfortunately, no copy from the 1871-1875 volumes has survived.
