Notes: Suspended Dec 1873-Oct 1874. Also issued on microfilm from the New York Public Library. Archived issues available in digital format. Subtitles vary. "Journal Officiel de la Paroisse St. Jacques." Liberal. The intention of the paper was to steer the South toward a harmonious and socially coherent direction in the confusing wake of the Civil War. The paper was in favor of acceptance and reconstruction, emphasizing that race relations needed to be calmed in favor of the community at large. However, it continually denounced newly-elected black government officials as unsuited for their offices, so much so that the governor removed the paper's status as "Journal Official de la Paroisse," whereafter the paper was titled Le Louisianais, Journal Non-Officiel de la Paroisse St. Jacques. In addition to news of local import, it ran articles on science, history, political events abroad, poetry and literature, and observations on contemporary mœurs.

Notes: Suspended Aug 30, 1862; resumed Oct 14, 1865. Suspended Apr 23, 1927; resumed Jul 16, 1927. Taking its name from an early French spelling of the word "Mississippi," Le Meschacébé was originally devoted almost entirely to legal notices, announcements of public sales, and ads for local businesses. Minutes of the parish police jury were published in French and English. The first page carried serialized novels, often pirated from French journals but occasionally written by Louisiana authors. Some of the stories were set in Louisiana and dealt with subjects of contemporary importance such as race relations and immigration. Although the paper reported on topics of international significance such as the Crimean War and William Walker's filibustering expeditions to Central America, news items were chiefly local. Le Meschacébé's fiction section at this time carried war-related works. After the fall of New Orleans and the occupation of St. John the Baptist Parish by Federal troops, the paper published military proclamations by Union commanders. A shortage of newsprint compelled Dumez to suspend publication in 1862, shortly after printing accounts of the bombardment of Donaldsonville and the Battle of Baton Rouge. Publication resumed in 1865. Although normally Democratic, in the presidential election of 1872, Le Meschacébé endorsed Horace Greeley of the Liberal Republican Party. English content appeared in 1871, but the paper quickly returned to being mostly French, until 1914, whereupon French articles virtually disappeared. Le Meschacébé went out of publication in 1942.

Notes: "Organe des paroisses Saint-Jacques et Saint Jean-Baptiste." The four-page weekly carried miscellaneous local, national, and international news. The recently admitted states of California and Texas received much attention, as did the Crimean War in Russia. Judicial announcements, notices of public sales, advertisements for local businesses, and the minutes of the police jury (the governing body of the parish) occupied a third or more of each issue. The paper's fiction section was typically pirated from French novels, but works by Louisiana writers were occasionally printed, such as Ernest Le Gendre’s Deux Parisiens en Louisiane. Politically, Le Messager was affiliated with the Whig Party, and in the mid-1850s it commented on nativist sentiment in Louisiana. The last known extant issue of Le Messager dates from August 1860.

Le Moniteur flourished for twenty years and remained the sole newspaper in the colony up to the time it passed to the United States in 1803. Founded during Spanish rule (which ceased in 1803), the paper ran into difficulties due to the Spanish suspicion of the printed word. Le Moniteur is considered to be the first newspaper published in Louisiana. In 1797 Le Moniteur became the official state paper.

Although the Patriot initially claimed to be neutral in politics and refuted accusations that it was an American (or Know-Nothing) Party paper, it soon came out in support of the party. The Patriot's focus through 1857 was American Party politics, but it also carried general foreign and domestic news as well as essays, poetry, and fiction, including serialized French novels. In the years leading up to the Civil War, it contained articles on topics such as abolition, slavery in the territories, and the influence of free blacks. No issues of the Patriot are known to exist from February 1860 to May 1861.

It also published the minutes of the parish police jury. The content of the paper's French section differed from the English, containing poetry and fiction, articles such as "Proscription de la langue française," a series of "Biographies americaines," and stories about French history.
