The Daily Comet is a newspaper in
Terrebonne
parishes.
It began publishing in 1889 as the weekly Lafourche Comet. It is the only paper currently published in America named "Comet". Its publisher, a Democrat, selected the name "Comet" because the rival Republican newspaper was named the Star. The publisher reasoned that a comet is brighter than a star.
The Daily Comet was purchased by
New Media Investment Group.[3]
