| − | The '''''Daily Bugle''''' is a fictional [[New York City]] [[newspaper]] that is a regular fixture in the [[Marvel Universe]], most prominently in ''[[Spider-Man]]'' and its derivative media. The company first appeared in ''[[Fantastic Four]]'' vol. 1 #2.

| − | ==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''.

| |
| − | ==Alternate versions==
| |
| − | In the [[Amalgam Comics]] universe, the Daily Bugle is a sleazy tabloid, and JJ Jameson tries get photos which depict [[Spider-Boy]] as being romantically linked to female heroes, like [[Insect Queen]], as well as other sensationalist stories. Pete Ross (Spider-Boy) works there as a photographer. Other staff members include [[Tana Moon]] and [[Creeper (comics)|Jack Ryder]]. There is also a Gotham Bugle, run by J. Jonah White, which employs red-headed, chain-smoking Jimmy Urich.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | In the ''[[Ultimate Marvel]]'' universe, the Bugle is much the same as in the 616 version. The main difference is that Peter Parker is not employed as a photographer, but works on the newspaper's website. The newspaper plays less of a role in ''[[Ultimate Spider-Man]]'' than it did in the comics portraying the equivalent period of the 616 Spider-Man's career.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | In the ''[[Marvel 1602]]'' setting, Jameson is publisher of the first "news-sheet" in the New World; the ''Daily Trumpet''.

It is one of the few remaining daily [[newspapers]] printed in the Broadsheet format in the [[United Kingdom]], as most other broadsheet publications have converted to the smaller [[Compact (newspaper)|compact]]/tabloid or [[Berliner (format)|Berliner]] formats. Its sister paper, '''''The Sunday Telegraph''''', was founded in 1961. In November 2006, the ''Telegraph'' was the highest selling British broadsheet, with a certified average [[newspaper circulation|daily circulation]] of 901,238.

| − | ==Political stance==
| |
| − | The ''Telegraph'' is traditionally politically [[Conservatism|Conservative]]. The combination of personal links between the paper's editorial team and the leadership of the [[Conservative Party (UK)|Conservative Party]], along with the paper's influence over Conservative activists, results in the paper often being jokingly referred to, especially in [[Private Eye]], as the ''Torygraph''. However, in its early years it was associated with Gladstone and the Liberal party, coining the nickname 'the people's William'.

| |
| − | [[Image:New Daily Telegraph Offices Fleet Street ILN 1882.jpg|thumb|275px|In 1882 the Daily Telegraph moved to new [[Fleet Street]] premises, which were pictured in the ''[[Illustrated London News]]''.]]
| |
| − | The ''Daily Telegraph'' was established on [[June 29]], [[1855]] by [[Colonel Arthur B. Sleigh]]. He controlled it only briefly before selling it to his printer, [[Joseph Moses Levy]], father of the 1st [[Baron Burnham]]. Levy appointed his sons as editors and relaunched the paper on [[September 17]]. His most significant and successful move was reducing the price of the paper to a penny, the first of the [[penny press]]. Within twelve months the new paper was outselling ''[[The Times]]''.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | In 1908, [[Kaiser]] [[Wilhelm II of Germany]] gave a controversial [http://www.lib.byu.edu/~rdh/wwi/1914m/dailytel.html interview] to ''The Daily Telegraph'' which severely damaged Anglo-German relations and added to international tension leading to [[World War I]].
| |
| − |
| |
| − | In 1928 the son of the 1st [[Baron Burnham]] sold it to the 1st [[Viscount Camrose]], in partnership with his brother [[Viscount Kemsley]] and the 1st [[Baron Iliffe]]. Both the Camrose (Berry) and Burnham (Levy-Lawson) families remained involved in management until [[Conrad Black]] took control in 1986.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | In 1937 the newspaper absorbed ''[[The Morning Post]]'' which traditionally espoused a [[conservatism|conservative]] position and sold predominantly amongst the retired officer class. Originally [[William Berry, 1st Viscount Camrose|William Ewart Berry]], 1st [[Viscount Camrose]] bought ''[[The Morning Post]]'' with the intention of publishing it alongside the ''[[Daily Telegraph]]'', but poor sales of the former led him to merge the two. For some years the paper was retitled ''The Daily Telegraph and Morning Post'' before it reverted to just ''The Daily Telegraph''.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ==''The Sunday Telegraph''==
| |
| − | The Telegraph's sister Sunday paper was founded in 1961. The conservative writer Sir [[Peregrine Worsthorne]] is probably the best known journalist associated with the title (1961-97), eventually being editor for three years from 1986. In 1989 the Sunday title was briefly merged in to a seven-day operation under [[Max Hastings|Max Hastings']] overall control.

| |
| − | {{Unreferencedsect|date=June 2006}}
| |
| − | ''The Daily Telegraph'' is owned by the [[Barclay brothers]]. Until January 2004 the newspaper group was controlled by [[Canada|Canadian]] businessman, [[Conrad Black|Conrad, Lord Black]]. Black, through his holding company [[Ravelston Corporation]], owned [[Hollinger Inc.]] which in turn owns 30% of [[Hollinger International]] and, under a deal struck by [[Andrew Stephen Bower Knight|Andrew Knight]] through which Black bought the newspaper group in 1986, owns 78% of the voting rights. Hollinger Inc. also owns the liberal ''[[Chicago Sun-Times]]'', the ''[[Jerusalem Post]]'', and conservative publications such as ''[[The Spectator]]''.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | On [[January 18]] [[2004]], Black was sacked as [[chairman of the board|chairman]] of the Hollinger International [[board of directors|board]] over allegations of financial wrongdoing. Black was also sued by the company. Later that day it was reported that the [[Barclay brothers]] had agreed to purchase Hollinger Inc. from Black, giving them the controlling interest in the newspaper group. They then launched a [[takeover]] bid for the rest of the group, [[valuation|valuing]] the company at [[Pound sterling|£]]200m. However, a suit has been filed by the Hollinger International board with the [[U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission]] to try to block Black selling [[stock|shares]] in the company until an investigation into his dealings have been completed. Black filed a counter-suit but eventually United States judge Leo Strine sided with the Hollinger International board and blocked Black from selling his Hollinger Inc. shares and interests to the twins. On Sunday [[March 7]], the twins announced they were launching another takeover bid, this time just for the ''Daily Telegraph'' and its Sunday sister paper rather than the whole stable. Current owner of the ''[[Daily Express]],'' [[Richard Desmond]], was also interested in purchasing the paper, selling his interest in several pornographic magazines to finance the initiative. Desmond withdrew in March 2004 when the price climbed above £600m, as did [[Daily Mail and General Trust plc]] on [[June 17]].
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Eventually, the Barclay brothers purchased Hollinger, and with it the ''Telegraph'', for around £665m in late June 2004.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Amidst the unraveling of the takeover Sir David Barclay suggested that ''The Daily Telegraph'' might in future no longer be the "house newspaper" of the Conservative Party. In an interview with ''The Guardian'' he said, "Where the government are right we will support them." The editorial board endorsed the Conservatives in the 2005 general election.<!--source:DT leader of 5/5/2005. subscription required for online access-->

Now re-launched as [http://www.telegraph.co.uk telegraph.co.uk], the website was the UK's first national newspaper online. Monday 8th May 2006 saw the first stage of a major redesign of ''the Telegraph'''s website, based on a wider page layout and greater prominence for audio, video and journalist blogs.

| |
| − | There has been speculation about the launch of a [[compact (newspaper)|compact]] edition of ''The Daily Telegraph'' to counter the change in size of ''The Times'' to a [[tabloid]].{{Fact|date=February 2007}} However, the ''Telegraph'' has denied these claims and indeed has tried to attract disgruntled ''Times'' readers who want to read a more upmarket [[broadsheet]]. One of its latest advertising slogans was ''Impact, Not Compact''.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | On [[10 October]] 2005, the ''Daily Telegraph'' relaunched to incorporate a tabloid sports section and a new standalone business section. The ''[[Daily Mail|Daily Mail's]]'' star columnist and political analyst [[Simon Heffer]] left that paper in October 2005 to rejoin the ''Daily Telegraph'', where he has become associate editor. Heffer, known for his combative style and wit, has written two columns a week for the ''Telegraph'' since late October 2005.

| |
| − | In addition to the 'Daily Torygraph' (see above), [[Private Eye]] has also dubbed the Daily Telegraph 'The Daily Hurleygraph' and 'The Daily Tottygraph' for their perceived obssesion with printing pictures of [[Liz Hurley]] and other notable attractive women, or as the 'Maily Telegraph' and 'Daily Mailograph' for the Eye's opinion that the newspaper sometimes focuses on issues traditionally seen as the preserve of the less respected tabloids such as the [[Daily Mail]].{{Fact|date=February 2007}}

| |
| − | The '''''Daily Planet''''' is a [[fictional]] [[broadsheet]] [[newspaper]] that appears in [[Superman]] stories published by [[DC Comics]]. The ''Daily Planet'' is based in [[Metropolis (comics)|Metropolis]] and employs [[Clark Kent]], [[Lois Lane]], and [[Jimmy Olsen]]; its chief editor is [[Perry White]]. Within the Superman [[comics]], the ''Daily Planet'' is depicted as a famous nationally published newspaper of the same caliber as the ''[[New York Times]]''.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | In the comics, the newspaper is located in the heart of Metropolis, at the corner of Fifth Street and Concord Lane. The ''Planet'' began publication in 1775; [[George Washington]] wrote a guest editorial for the first daily edition. The ''Daily Planet'' building's most distinguishing and famous feature is the enormous [[globe]] that sits on top of the building.

| |
| − | ==History==
| |
| − | ===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.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ===Modern Age===
| |
| − | In the modern comics' canon, years before Clark or Lois began working for the paper, [[Lex Luthor]] 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 has 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 Planet'''s publisher.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The ''Planet'' saw its share of rough times during White's tenure, including: worker strikes; the ''Daily Planet'' building being destroyed during the "Fall of Metropolis" storyline; the ''Planet'' building sustaining heavy damages after the villain [[Doomsday]]'s rampage; and possibly its darkest hour, Franklin Stern's decision to put the paper up for sale. Lex Luthor, 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 save for four people: [[Simone D'Neige]], [[Dirk Armstrong]] (a fictional counterpart of conservative [[radio]] commentator [[Rush Limbaugh]]), [[Jimmy Olsen]], and [[Lois Lane]]. As a final insult, Luthor saw to it that the ''Planet'' globe was unceremoniously dumped in the Metropolis [[landfill]]. In the ''Planet'''s place emerged "LexCom," a news-oriented [[Internet]] web site that primarily catered to Luthor's views of "quality journalism."
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Eventually, after Lois Lane made a deal with Luthor, Luthor sold the ''Daily Planet'' to Perry White for the minuscule sum of one [[dollar]]. The paper was quickly reinstated, rehiring all of its old staff. Some time later, ownership of the ''Planet'' fell into the hands of [[Batman|Bruce Wayne]], where it has remained ever since.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | During the "Y2K" storyline (involving the city of Metropolis being infused with futuristic technology thanks to a descendant of the villain [[Brainiac (comics)|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 web site much like most large newspapers. The ''Planet'''s 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 [[typewriter]]. The current owner also happens to be Bruce Wayne.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The ''Planet'''s major competitors in Metropolis include the [[tabloid]] newspaper the ''Daily Star'', WGBS-TV (which briefly employed Jimmy Olsen), and Lex Luthor's various media operations.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ===Superman: Birthright===
| |
| − | In the storyline [[Superman: Birthright]] the name of the publisher is Quentin Galloway, an abrasive overbearing loudmouth who bullies Jimmy Olsen (and later, Clark Kent) before being told off by Lois Lane (whom Galloway cannot fire because of her star status).<ref>[http://www.supermanhomepage.com/comics/comics.php?topic=articles/birthright], http://www.supermanhomepage.com/comics/comics.php?topic=articles/birthright.</ref>

| − | *In 1978's ''[[Superman: The Movie]]'' and its sequels, the Daily Planet exterior was the [[New York Daily News]] Building. The globe, which used to be on the top of the building, was apparently replaced with one in the front lobby to make room for a [[helipad]] on the roof.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | *''[[Lois and Clark: The New Adventures of Superman]]'' introduced the idea of a smaller globe above the building's entrance (the rooftop was never shown).<br>At the end of the first season the paper was bought and closed down by Luthor (as would later happen in the comics). Its relaunch was funded by Metropolis businessman [[Franklin Stern]].

One of the main characters of ''Smallville'', [[Chloe Sullivan]], works in the basement of the ''Planet'', editing the paper's [[obituary|obituaries]].
