Les Échos1908Émile Servan-Schreiber is recognized among Jewish contributors to Arts & Literature — Co-founder of Les Échos with his brother Robert, and its co-director from 1908 to 1963; the journalist who turned a trade bulletin into a daily.
Émile Servan-Schreiber was the younger brother of Robert, and the second son of Joseph Schreiber, born in Gleiwitz in Prussian Silesia to a rabbi's household; the French Wikipedia describes the family as 'française d'origine juive allemande', French of German Jewish origin. A journalist by trade, he founded Les Échos with his brother in 1908 and co-directed it until 1963, turning what began as the mail-order bulletin of the family export house into France's economic daily.
The pen name Servan, taken from the Breton town of Saint-Servan, was first used for a 1917 essay and later joined to Schreiber for good. His son Jean-Jacques founded L'Express.
