Daily Star
Encyclopedia : D : DA : DAI : Daily Star
- The Daily Star is also a Lebanese newspaper, a Bangladeshi newspaper, and the Earth-Two version of The Daily Planet.
The Star was first published in 1978, and was the first new national paper to be launched since the Daily Mirror in 1903. It is published by Express Newspapers, who also publish the Daily Express and Sunday Express. The paper is best known for focussing on stories which largely revolve around celebrities, sport, and news and gossip about popular television programmes, such as soap operas and reality TV shows. The editorial stance of the Star's "serious" news articles is predominantly right wing, tackling such hot button issues as asylum seekers and anti-social behaviour.
It features a photo of a topless model every day, in colour, and has "discovered" some well known models, most notably Rachel Ter Horst in 1993, and Lucy Pinder on a Bournemouth beach in summer 2003. These women are known in the paper as "Starbirds".
The paper includes a column by Dominik Diamond, and a page devoted to readers' text messages, which are apparently printed verbatim.
