A Reader of The Daily News by Joseph Clayton Clark, c. 1900

The Daily News was a national daily newspaper in the United Kingdom published from 1846 to 1930.

The News was founded in 1846 by

the Turkish atrocities in Bulgaria.[3][4]

In 1901,

Quaker chocolate manufacturer George Cadbury bought The Daily News and used the paper to campaign for old age pensions and against sweatshop labour.[2] As a pacifist, Cadbury opposed the Boer War, and the Daily News followed his line.[5]

In 1906, the News sponsored an exhibition on

force feeding of suffragettes.[6]

In 1912, the News merged with the Morning Leader, and was for a time known as the Daily News and Leader.

Daily Chronicle to form the centre-left News Chronicle.[6]

The chairman from 1911 to 1930 was Edward Cadbury, eldest son of George Cadbury.[7]
