History

The Daily Globe was a rival newspaper of New York City's the Daily Bugle. While it is unknown when the Globe was founded, the paper has been in publication since at least 1940. Its most recent publisher was Barney Bushkin, a journalist whose rivalry with the Daily Bugle's publisher, J. Jonah Jameson, dated back to their college years.

The Green Goblin once went to the Globe to acquire Spider-Man's deep background files. However, the staff seemed hesitant to give the Goblin the information. Finally, one of the young photographers said that he was Spider-Man. The Goblin tested the boy's claim by throwing him out of the window. The real Spider-Man swung in and rescued the boy, and the Goblin retreated.

Eddie Brock was a successful columnist for the newly-revived Daily Globe until he began writing a series of articles about the "Sin-Eater murders." While protecting the "murderer's" identity under the First Amendment, Brock wrote a series of stories in the Globe detailing his dialogue with the supposed killer, until mounting pressure from the authorities forced him to write an exclusive revealing the murderer's name. Although that edition of the newspaper sold out immediately, Spider-Man soon revealed the true identity of the Sin-Eater to be Detective Stan Carter (the man that Brock had been interviewing was actually a compulsive confessor), making Brock a laughing stock among his fellow journalists. Brock was fired, beginning a downward spiral in his life that would eventually lead to him becoming the original Venom.

A couple of years later, the Daily Globe went out of business. Embittered by the contrast between his life and J. Jonah Jameson's constant habit of failing upwards, Barney Bushkin was found drowning his sorrows in a bar by the supervillain Arcade, who provided Bushkin with a remotely-controlled robot to terrorize Jameson. Two years later, Bushkin used the robot to abduct Jameson and take him to the rooftop of the old Daily Globe building. Once there, Bushkin shot Jameson with a realistic toy gun that squirted ink. After admitting that he simply wanted Jameson to feel scared for once in his life, Jameson comforted Bushkin and even offered him a job to produce his segments for a radio show.
