Le Vingtième Siècle
Le Vingtième Siècle was a Belgian newspaper that was published from 1895 to 1940. Its supplement Le Petit Vingtième is known as the first publication to feature The Adventures of Tintin.
The conservative Catholic newspaper was founded by Georges Helleputte, Joseph d'Ursel, and Athanase de Broqueville. Its first issue was published on 6 June 1895. It sold poorly and was kept alive by Charles de Broqueville and other Belgian aristocrats.
In 1914, Fernand Neuray took over as editor-in-chief. He distanced the newspaper from the Catholic alignment and tried to position it as a national newspaper.
