==History== [[Image:Dailybuglelayout.gif|right|thumb|Layout of the Bugle]] The ''Bugle'' was founded in 1897 and has been published daily ever since. Tabloid in format like its rival The [[Daily Globe]], the ''Bugle'' appears in several editions daily. The publisher of the ''Bugle'', [[J. Jonah Jameson]], began his journalistic career as a reporter for the ''Bugle'' while still in high school. Jameson purchased the then-floundering ''Bugle'' with inheritance funds and turned the paper into a popular success. Other magazines published from time-to-time include the revived ''Now'' Magazine and the now-defunct ''Woman'' Magazine. J. Jonah Jameson, Inc. purchased the Goodman Building on [[39th Street]] and [[Second Avenue]] in 1968 and moved its entire editorial and publishing facilities there. Now called the Daily Bugle Building, the office complex is forty-six stories tall, and is capped by the ''Daily Bugle'' logo in 30-foot letters on the roof. There are loading docks in the rear of the building, reached by a back alley. Three floors are devoted to the editorial office of the ''Bugle'' and two sub-basement levels to the printing presses, while the rest of the floors are rented. (However, a panel in issue 105 of ''[[The Amazing Spider-Man]]'' showed the ''Bugle'' building located near a street sign at the corner of [[Madison Avenue]] and a street in the East Fifties (the second digit was not shown). This suggests that the building may have been relocated at some point.) The newspaper is noted for its anti-[[superhero]] slant, especially concerning [[Spider-Man]], whom the paper constantly smears as a part of its editorial policy. However, the Editor-in-Chief, "Robbie" Robertson, the only subordinate to Jameson who is not intimidated by him, has worked to moderate it. Due to declining circulation, Jameson has conceded to Robertson's objections and has created a special feature section of the paper called ''[[The Pulse (comics)|The Pulse]]'' which focuses on superheroes. In addition, the paper also intermittently ran a glossy [[magazine]] called ''Now Magazine.'' Recently in the pages of the ''[[New Avengers (comic)|New Avengers]]'', the team decided to strike a deal with Jameson regarding exclusive content in exchange for removing the strong Anti-Spider-Man vibe from the newspaper, to which Jameson agreed. Merely one day later, Jameson had already gone back on his word with [[Iron Man]], using the headline "a wanted murderer ([[Wolverine (comics)|Wolverine]]), an alleged ex-member of a terrorist organisation ([[Spider-Woman]]) and a convicted heroin-dealer ([[Luke Cage]]) are just some of the new recruits set to bury the once good name of the [[Avengers (comics)|Avengers]]", although he didn't insult Spider-Man. This caused [[Jessica Jones]] to sell the first pictures of her newborn baby to one of the ''Bugle'''s competitors instead. In the first issue of ''[[Runaways (comics)|Runaways Vol. 2]]'', [[Victor Mancha]] states in an exchange about Spider-Man that "The only people who think he's a criminal are [[Fox News]] and the Daily Bugle. And the Bugle is, like, the least respected newspaper in New York City." The paper's major named competition is ''[[The Daily Globe]]'', which implicitly takes a more balanced look at the superhero. For instance, after Peter Parker revealed he is Spider-Man and the ''Bugle'' planned to sue him for fraud, the paper itself was put on the defensive with front page accusations from ''The Globe'' (with information secretly supplied by ''Bugle'' reporter [[Betty Brant]]) of [[libel]]ing the superhero. The adventures of the staff of the newspaper beyond Peter Parker have been depicted in two series, ''Daily Bugle'' and ''The Pulse''.
