La Epoca ( Ladino: The Era) was a Ladino language newspaper published between 1875 and 1911 in Thessaloniki, Ottoman Empire. Published nearly for forty years it was the leading Ladino publication in the Empire [1] and first Ladino newspaper in Thessaloniki. [2]
History and profile
La Epoca was launched by Sadi Levy in 1875, and the first issue appeared on 1 November that year. [3] [4] He also served as the publisher and editor-in-chief of the paper until 1888. [5] He was the publisher of another paper entitled Le Journal de Salonique, a French language newspaper. [6] The subtitle of La Epoca was Revista comerciala y literaria (Ladino: Commercial and literary newspaper), and the paper had a progressive and avant-garde stance. [3] Its supporter was Alliance Israélite Universelle, a Jewish organization. [3] La Epoca targeted the Sephardi Jews living in Thessaloniki and other towns who could only read Ladino materials. [7]
Following the death of Sadi Levy his son, Samuel, became the editor and publisher of La Epoca. [4] The newspaper was first published on a daily basis, and then, its frequency was switched to weekly. [4] One of the contributors was Mercado Joseph Covo. [1] [8] La Epoca and its sister newspaper Le Journal de Salonique both supported Zionism, socialism and Ottomanism. [6] In 1892 La Epoca praised the Ottomans for offering them a land after their expulsion from Spain and described the Empire as the "land where we are eating free bread." [4] Following the Young Turk revolution in 1908 both La Epoca and Le Journal de Salonique focused more on Zionism. [9]
La Epoca folded in 1911. [2] [3] The paper was archived by the National Library of Israel. [4]
