DC Comics newspaper, Superman's workplace

Biography

The Daily Planet is a fictional newspaper that serves as the primary setting for much of the Superman mythology in DC Comics. Founded as a major Metropolitan newspaper serving the city of Metropolis, the Daily Planet became famous as the workplace of reporter Clark Kent and his colleagues Lois Lane and Jimmy Olsen. The newspaper represents the golden age of investigative journalism and serves as a moral compass in the Superman universe, with its editor Perry White demanding truth and accountability. The Daily Planet building, with its iconic globe on top, has become one of the most recognizable locations in comic book history. The newspaper's role has evolved across decades of comics, films, and television shows, but it remains central to Superman's civilian identity and his connection to the world he protects.
