Writing and Printing

Daily Worker

The Daily Worker was a leftist newspaper published in Chicago and later New York City, founded by communists, socialists, union members, and other activists. Publication began in 1924. The publication generally promoted the prevailing views of the Communist Party USA (CPUSA); it also reflected a broader spectrum of left-wing opinion. At its peak, the newspaper achieved a circulation of 35,000. Contributors to its pages included Robert Minor and Fred Ellis (cartoonists), Lester Rodney (sports editor), David Karr, Richard Wright, John L. Spivak, Peter Fryer, Woody Guthrie, and Louis F. Budenz. The newspaper ceased daily publication in 1958 and transitioned to weekly publication under various names until 2010. Several online news and opinion outlets now claim to be the legitimate successor to The Daily Worker. All works of the Daily Worker prior to 1964 are now in the public domain due to the nonrenewal of their copyright status.
