Fictional history

While choosing a name for the fictitious newspaper, consideration was given to combining the names of ''

'' (another Toronto newspaper) and the ''Daily Star'' to become ''The Daily Globe''. But when the comic strip appeared, the newspaper's name was permanently made the ''Daily Planet'' to avoid a name conflict with real newspapers. In ''Superman'' #5 (Summer 1940), the publisher of the ''Daily Planet'' is shown to be Burt Mason, a man who is determined to print the truth even when corrupt politician Alex Evell threatens him. In ''Superman'' #6 (September–October 1940), Mason gives free printing equipment to ''The Gateston Gazette'' after its editor, Jim Tirrell, is killed and its equipment is destroyed by racketeers that Tirrell insisted on reporting. When DC made use of its multiverse means of continuity tracking between the early 1960s and mid-1980s, it was declared that the ''Daily Star'' was the newspaper's name in the

In the Silver and Bronze Age universes, Clark's first contact with the ''Daily Planet'' came when reporter (and future editor) Perry White came to Smallville to write a story about

'', many of these elements, including Morgan Edge buying the ''Daily Planet'', were retroactively changed or eliminated from the Superman canon.

Post-Crisis

In the post-Crisis comics' canon, years before Clark or Lois began working for the paper,

owned the ''Daily Planet.'' When Luthor, deciding to sell the paper, began taking bids for the ''Planet'', Perry White convinced an international conglomerate, TransNational Enterprises, to buy the paper. They agreed to this venture with only one stipulation: that Perry White would become editor-in-chief. White had served as the ''Planet'' editor-in-chief ever since, barring the few times he was absent. During those times people such as Sam Foswell and Clark Kent have looked after the paper. Franklin Stern, an old friend of White's, became the ''Daily Planets publisher. The ''Planet'' saw its share of rough times during White's tenure. For example, it had many violent worker strikes. The building itself, along with most of the city, was destroyed during the "Fall of Metropolis" storyline; it is only much later that it was restored by the efforts of various superheroes. The ''Planet'' building sustained heavy damages after the villain

, disliking the heavy criticism of himself and his company that the ''Planet'' became noted for, purchased the ''Daily Planet'' and subsequently closed the paper down. Luthor fired every employee of the newspaper except for four people: Simone D'Neige, Dirk Armstrong,

After Lois Lane made a deal with Luthor where, in exchange for him returning the ''Planet'' to Perry, she would kill one story of his choosing with no questions asked, Luthor sold the ''Daily Planet'' to Perry White for the token sum of one dollar. The paper was quickly reinstated, rehiring all of its old staff. Sometime later, ownership of the ''Planet'' fell into the hands of

, where it has remained ever since. In the '' Batman: Hush'' storyline, it is named a subsidiary of Wayne Entertainment. During the "Y2K" storyline (involving the city of Metropolis being infused with futuristic technology thanks to a descendant of the villain Brainiac), the ''Daily Planet'' building was "upgraded" along with the rest of Metropolis, and a holographic globe replaced the physical one. Eventually due to temporal instabilities caused by the B13 Virus, Metropolis and the Daily Planet building, globe and all, were restored to their former states. In the current comics and media spinoffs, the ''Daily Planet'' is presented as a thoroughly modern news operation, including operating an Internet website much like most large newspapers. The ''Planets reporters also have access to the best modern equipment to aid their work, though Perry White has often been shown as still favoring his manual

's various media operations. A contemporary publication is ''Newstime'' Magazine, where Clark Kent worked as the editor for a time. The publisher of ''Newstime'' is Colin Thornton, who is secretly the demon Satanus, an enemy of Superman's.

''Superman: Birthright''

In the '' Superman: Birthright'' limited series, the ''Daily Planets publisher was Quentin Galloway, an abrasive overbearing loudmouth who bullied Jimmy Olsen, and later Clark Kent, before being told off by Lois Lane, whom Galloway could not fire because of her star status. This was meant to be a new origin for Superman but one that applied to the Post-Crisis continuity, so later ''Planet'' history concerning Luthor temporarily owning it and other events still applied.

Post-Infinite Crisis

During the story ''

Infinite Crisis "Infinite Crisis" is a 2005–2006 comic book storyline published by DC Comics, consisting of an eponymous, seven-issue comic book limited series written by Geoff Johns and illustrated by Phil Jimenez, George Pérez, Ivan Reis, and Jerry Ordway, ...

'', parts of the Post-Crisis history were altered. These changes were explained gradually over the next several years. The 2009 mini-series '' Superman: Secret Origin'' clarified the earlier history of the ''Planet'' in the new continuity. The story established that while Lex Luthor, in the revised history, owns every media in Metropolis and uses it to enforce his public image as a wealthy benefactor, the ''Planet'' had always stood free, refusing him ownership and even condemning his actions in editorials signed by Perry White himself. As a result, when Clark Kent is first inducted into the ''Planet'', the newspaper was almost bankrupt, dilapidated and unable to afford new reporters. This changed after Superman begins his career. Thanks to Superman granting exclusive interviews and photographs to Lois Lane and Jimmy Olsen when he debuts, the paper's circulation increased 700%. General Sam Lane (Lois' father) attempted to capture Superman, seeing him as an alien threat. When he failed to do so, he forcibly shut down the ''Planet'' as part of an attempt to force Perry White and Lois to turn over any information they had on Superman that they haven't released to the public. Eventually, Superman turned the public to his favor and Sam Lane was seen in a bad light after his soldier John Corben AKA Metallo ruthlessly endangered civilians. These events lead to the people of Metropolis no longer looking at Lex Luthor as a savior and ''The Daily Planet'' becomes the city's top-selling paper, as well as a major player in media. In '' Final Crisis'' #2, the villain Clayface triggers an explosion in The ''Daily Planet'' building, greatly damaging the offices, leaving many injured and at least one person dead. Lois Lane is hospitalized. Despite the chaos of ''Final Crisis'' and more than half of humanity being enslaved by evil, the newspaper continues to spread news and inform the public via a printing press in Superman's

. In ''Final Crisis'' #7, it is shown functioning once again.

The New 52

With the reboot of DC's line of comics in 2011, the ''Daily Planet'' was shown in the ''Superman'' comics as being bought by Morgan Edge and merged with the Galaxy Broadcasting System, similar to the Silver/Bronze Age continuity. In ''Action Comics'', it is revealed that in the new history/universe, Clark Kent begins his journalism career in Metropolis roughly six years before Galaxy Broadcasting merges with the ''Daily Planet''. Along with being a writer for ''The Daily Star'', partly because editor George Taylor was a friend of his adopted parents, Clark is an active blogger who speaks against political corruption and reports on the troubles of everyday citizens who are not often the focus of news media. While working at the ''Star'', Clark meets ''Planet'' photographer Jimmy Olsen and the two become friends despite working at rival publications. Clark is also a great fan of Lois Lane's work at the ''Daily Planet'', eventually meeting her through Jimmy. Months after Superman makes his public debut, Clark leaves ''The Daily Star'' on good terms and accepts a position at ''The Daily Planet''. After the merger with Galaxy Broadcasting, Lois was promoted to run the TV division, with Clark acting as an on-the-scene reporter for the TV division. Clark is later assigned the "Superman beat." But after rising tension between himself and Lois, as well as with Galaxy Broadcasting head Morgan Edge, Clark concludes that the ''Daily Planet'' is now more concerned with ratings and internet page views than actual journalism. He quits and goes off to begin an independent, internet news site with fellow journalist Cat Grant. Though Lois and Jimmy consider this to be a bad and risky decision, they continue to act as Clark's friends and confidants, offering aid when they can. At the conclusion of the New 52, following the New 52 Superman's death, Lex Luthor buys the ''Daily Planet''.
