Revision as of 15:33, 30 August 2018
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
(To be revised.)
The Daily Days makes an appearance when Henry and Rachel debrief The President about the Flying Pussyfoot incident.
The Daily Days plays an important role in the Runorata-Gandor feud and Eve Genoard's search for her brother Dallas; Henry manipulates Roy Maddock and Edith and their roles in the feud, while Elean Duga offers what information he can to Eve. The Runorata-Gandor feud culminates in a Runorata raid of the Daily Days on January 02, 1932, where Eve and the Gandor brothers confront Gustavo Bagetta, Felix Walken confronts the Runorata-hired assassins, and Begg Garott confronts Roy and Edith.
