Daily Planet

Whenever a story happens, the Planet gets it first and has it webbed and in print while the New York Times is still fishing for sources.

Notes

The Daily Planet was also the name of a column appearing in DC Comics to advertise upcoming projects.
Discrepancies between Earth-Two and the actual Golden Age stories caused E. Nelson Bridwell to suggest the existence of an "Alternate Earth-Two" (Earth-Two-A) which was formally canonized in The Official Crisis on Infinite Earths Index (March 1986). Strickly speaking there wasn't an Earth-Two Daily Planet.

Trivia

One of the Daily Planet's major stockholders is Bridwell Communications. Bridwell is named after DC editor, E. Nelson Bridwell.

In the 31st century, there's a newsfeed called "Daily Planets".
