Sumario:This paper is dedicated to analysing Albert Camus's journalistic thinking on the Algerian issue. It is taken into account that during the Algerian War, Camus was imputed as a figure who defended the colonial policy (or accused of not having the capacity to assume a position), while, as discovered in the examination, during the 1940s, in a certain extent, French journalists accused him of colluding in the face of attacks by nationalist groups. Backed by a methodology based, in particular, on the writings of Pocock (2013), it was observed that Camus's primary concern was the guarantee of a democratic state. The Algerian warned about the rise of nationalism while demanding historical reparation from France and underlined the responsibility of the French with regard to the status quo at the time in the northern region of the African continent.
