Confronted with the untruth of colonialism's values, Algerian patriots recognized the importance of exposing colonialism's policies and attempts to obliterate and distort national identity, so they used newspapers as shovels to demolish and expose its falsehoods. During the occupation period, the Algerian press was a terrifying concern to colonialism and its adherents, and a solid stone in the path of French colonization. Patriots began to establish press platforms despite their limited and non-existent capabilities sometimes. If French colonialism prohibited one newspaper in the morning, another appeared in the evening, in an attempt to create an alternative media that would bring down the iron wall that France had built to isolate Algerians from the rest of the world.
