The Daily Days

The Daily Days, or "DD," is both a newspaper agency and an information brokerage, operating from an unobtrusive corner of Chinatown, Manhattan. As a tiny, independent newspaper, the Daily Days is far overshadowed by the New York Times, New York Tribune, and other New York papers; as the information brokerage "The Informer," it is one of the best organizations in the business.

Though the newspaper is more of a public front for the far more profitable information brokerage, the Daily Days takes its newspaper seriously and commits to publishing Chinese, English, and Italian editions every day—even when under fire. Over half of its employees are Chinese, all of whom have been trained in firearms by Nicholas Wayne, the newspaper's Chief editor and copy editor of the English edition.

Chronology
Either during 1930 or in the immediately preceding year(s), Carl Dignis leaves his newspaper for the Daily Days.

In Late December 1931, Nicholas Wayne sells some meager information on Roy Maddock to Runorata men. Afterward, Eve Genoard, accompanied by Benjamin and Samantha, visits the Daily Days seeking information on her missing brother; Elean Duga informs her that information is scant. As the three are exiting, Roy Maddock enters and asks Henry for information about the Runorata Family's weaknesses. Nicholas and Elean head to The Alveare for drinks, where they discuss the classified immortals matter and witness Edith give a bag to Lia Lin-Shan. Late that night, Keith Gandor pays the President a personal visit: the President tells Keith how to contact Bartolo Runorata in exchange for the information that Tick Jefferson tortured out of Gustavo's man.

On December 29, the President summarizes all the above sales to Elean, Nicholas, Henry, and a few others all except for Henry's sale, which he asks Henry about. Henry half-lies that Roy left without purchasing any information. On December 30, a DD freelancer Rachel stows away on the The Flying Pussyfoot express and survives its hijacking. She notifies the Daily Days about the incident once the train has arrived on the 31st.

On January 1, 1932, Nicholas complains to the President about Henry hiding something. When Edith visits the agency for information about Roy's whereabouts, Henry tells her about his exchange with Roy and talks her into a new exchange: he will sell her Eve's location and a strategy to escape the Runoratas if she can solicit testimony from Vino about the Flying Pussyfoot. Nicholas, having overheard, nearly comes to blows with Henry.

The Runorata-Gandor feud culminates in Gustavo Bagetta leading a raid of the Daily Days on January 2. All Daily Days employees sans the President evacuate in advance of the raid as planned by him and the Gandor brothers; the Daily Days prior to the raid, informs Edith about the anti-Gustavo strategy. Within the building, Eve and the Gandor brothers confront Gustavo, Vino confronts Gustavo's hired assassins, and Begg Garrott confronts Roy and Edith. When the police arrive, the Daily Days crew pin everything on Gustavo. The next day—January 3—finds the President reviewing the operation with Nicholas and Elean.

Several days after arriving in New York City, approximately sometime during the first week of January, Rachel returns to the offices to share more details of what transpired on the train. The President tips her off about Turner. Jacuzzi Splot also sells information about the Flying Pussyfoot to Henry; it is unclear whether both sales happen on the same day. Later that month, an actor masquerades as a Daily Days reporter on a 'playwright's' behalf to interview Upham. In August, Carl covers the murders of a serial killer on the newspaper's behalf. Other media outfits adopt the moniker he coins—Ice Pick Thompson—for their own coverage of the killing spree.

One of the Daily Day ' s more prolific customers, Rubik, quits selling information at some point in 1933. Prior to this year, he frequently sold information to the Daily Days and enemy organizations that was often valuable, gleaned from his involvement in the Runorata Family and other powerful organizations. Rubik decides, however, that he can no longer compete as an information salesman with the likes of Sham, an information-gathering powerhouse. 1933 is a quieter year for the Daily Days than the one before it; Nicholas speaks with the President about the Gandors and the Martillo Family taking an interest in  Jacuzzi's Gang in September but, this time, the newspaper is hardly involved.

In December 1934, the Daily Days ' vice president Gustav St. Germain travels to Chicago to visit members of Daily Days ' staff. Accompanying him is the aspiring photojournalist Carol, tasked with photographing the staff members. The two employees are held hostage by Graham Specter on the train to Chicago and at gunpoint by Hilton on the platform; Carol is later taken hostage by Placido Russo during the employees' unexpected involvement in the Nebula affair. Once the dust settles, Gustav and Carol lunch with Huey Laforet, Bartolo, and possibly Begg. Sham sells information to the Daily Days about the Chicago & Alcatraz incidents.

With the Runoratas' construction on Ra's Lance proceeding rapidly during the next month, the Daily Days remains alert as rumors fly about Ra's Lance housing a casino. These rumors prove true circa February 1935 as members from powerful mob families throughout the Eastern seaboard file into New York for a party the Runoratas plan to host in Ra's Lnace.

In Summer 2002, Troy sells one of his seven computers to the newspaper in exchange for information on Firo Prochainezo and his upcoming trip on the Entrance cruise liner.

Trivia

 * The Daily Days, according to the President, has never missed a day's issue. He is so committed to upholding this standard of quality that he orders his employees continue working on the newspaper while hiding from the Runoratas.
 * Over half its employees are Chinese. All of the employees know how to use guns (courtesy by Nicholas), a skill they rely upon should a client tries to threaten them.
 * The anime's staff turned to Doyers Street as inspiration for Daily Days' location while location scouting; if one accepts the establishing shots at face value, then the Daily Days' address can be pinpointed to 5-7 Doyers Street, Chinatown. This means that the Daily Days is displacing a mission house of Rescue Society of New York from existence, a real mission house which replaced the Chinese Theater after it folded in 1910/1911.
