===Gold, Silver and Bronze Ages===
When Superman first appeared in comics (in 1938's ''[[Action Comics]]'' #1), his [[alter ego]] [[Clark Kent]] worked for a newspaper named the ''Daily Star'', under editor George Taylor. Superman co-creator [[Joe Shuster]] named the ''Daily Star'' after the ''[[Toronto Star|Toronto Daily Star]]'' newspaper in [[Toronto, Ontario]], which had been the newspaper that Shuster's parents received and for which Shuster had worked as a newsboy. (Called the ''Evening Star'' prior to 1899, the ''Toronto Daily Star'' is now known as the ''Toronto Star''.)<ref>[http://members.tripod.com/~MitchellBrown/cancom/supermanatthestar.html], April 26, 1992 Toronto Star interview with Joe Shuster. Retrieved [[July 26]], [[2006]].</ref> When the Superman newspaper [[comic strip]] appeared, the fictional newspaper's name was permanently changed to the ''Daily Planet'' to avoid a name conflict with real newspapers which had ''Star'' in their name.

When DC made use of its [[multiverse (DC Comics)|multiverse]] means of continuity tracking between the early 1960s and mid-1980s, it was declared that the ''Daily Star'' was the workplace of the [[Golden Age of Comics|Golden Age]] or "Earth-Two" versions of Clark Kent, Lois Lane and Jimmy Olsen, while the ''Daily Planet'' was unique to their [[Silver Age of Comics|Silver Age]] or "Earth-One" versions. The [[Superman (Kal-L)|Clark Kent of Earth-Two]] eventually became the editor-in-chief of the ''Daily Star'', something his Earth-One counterpart didn't achieve at his newspaper. 

In both the Silver Age and Bronze Age continuities, Clark's first contact with the ''Daily Planet'' came when reporter (and future editor) Perry White came to [[Smallville (DC Comics)|Smallville]] to write a story about [[Superboy]], and wound up getting an interview where the Boy of Steel first revealed his [[extraterrestrial life|extraterrestrial]] origins (the story wound up winning Perry a [[Pulitzer prize]]). During Clark Kent's years in college, Perry White was promoted to editor-in-chief upon the retirement of the ''Daily Planet'''s previous editor, the Earth-One version of George Taylor.

After graduating from Metropolis University with a degree in [[journalism]], Clark Kent went to work at the ''Planet'', and quickly met Lois Lane (who had been working there for some time already). Some time after Clark was hired, Jimmy Olsen joined the paper's staff.

In 1971, the ''Daily Planet'' was purchased by [[Morgan Edge]], president of the Galaxy Broadcasting System. Edge proceeded to integrate Metropolis [[television]] station WGBS-TV's studios into the ''Daily Planet'' building, and named Clark Kent as the anchor for the WGBS evening news. Eventually, Clark's former schoolmate from Smallville [[Lana Lang]] joined Clark as a co-anchor.

After the 1985-1986 miniseries ''[[Crisis on Infinite Earths]]'', many of these elements, including Morgan Edge buying the ''Daily Planet'', were retroactively changed or eliminated from Superman canon.
