The Daily Worker

The Daily Worker was a Communist daily newspaper published in the US in the 20th century. (There is a Wikipedia article about this serial.)

Publication History

The Daily Worker began in 1922 as The Worker, a successor to The Toiler. It was renamed the Daily Worker in 1924 after adopting a daily publication schedule. No issue or contribution copyright renewals were found for this serial. The paper ceased publication in 1958, though it later revived as The Worker, with a less frequent publication schedule. The current successor of the paper is People's World, an online-only publication.
