==Cultural references== * The band [[The Dukes of Stratosphear]], an alter ego for [[XTC]], makes reference to the newspaper in a song called "[[Brainiac (comics)|Brainiac]]'s Daughter" on their 1987 album ''[[Psonic Psunspot]]'': "Brainiac's daughter talks like a ''Daily Planet'' reporter." * The band [[Love (band)|Love]] has a song called "The Daily Planet" on their 1967 album ''[[Forever Changes]]''. The phrase "Daily Planet" is never actually mentioned in the song, and none of the lyrics make reference to Superman. * The real-life newspaper in [[Metropolis, Illinois]] is named after the ''Daily Planet''. However, as it is a weekly newspaper, it is named the ''Metropolis Planet''. * [http://www.Ashevilledailyplanet.com ''The Asheville Daily Planet ''], an alternative weekly newspaper, debuted in [[Asheville, North Carolina]] in December 2004. The first article of the first issue made references to the Superman mythos. "I thought [it] would be kind of a smashing name, because everybody reads Superman comics," Publisher John North has said. *The Brazilian humor group [[Casseta & Planeta]] created a satiric newspaper in [[1984]] called '''Planeta Diário''' (Daily Planet in Portuguese) in a nod to Clark Kent's newspaper. The newspaper sold 100,000 copies per edition. * The cable television network Discovery Channel features a show called Daily Planet. Hosted by Jay Ingram and Natasha Stillwell, the Discovery Channel Web site describes it as "a one-hour long science magazine show that brings you the world like you've never seen it before." * American sportscaster [[Chris Berman]] of [[ESPN]], who is well known for his pun-ny nicknames for various baseball players, dubbed St. Louis Cardinals relief pitcher [[Ken Dayley]] (1984-90) "Ken Dayley Planet". ---- [[AGE OF WONDERS - "The IMPERIALS"]]
