Editing Daily Planet (section)

===Post-Infinite Crisis===
During the story ''[[Infinite Crisis]]'', parts of the Post-Crisis history were altered. These changes were explained gradually over the next several years. The 2009 mini-series ''[[Superman: Secret Origin]]'' clarified the earlier history of the ''Planet'' in the new continuity. The story established that while Lex Luthor, in the revised history, owns every media in Metropolis and uses it to enforce his [[public relations|public image]] as a wealthy benefactor, the ''Planet'' had always stood free, refusing him ownership and even condemning his actions in editorials signed by Perry White himself. As a result, when Clark Kent is first inducted into the ''Planet'', the newspaper was almost bankrupt, dilapidated and unable to afford new reporters.<ref>''Superman: Secret Origin'' #3 (January 2010)</ref> This changed after Superman begins his career. Thanks to Superman granting exclusive interviews and photographs to Lois Lane and Jimmy Olsen when he debuts, the paper's circulation increased 700%.

General [[Sam Lane (comics)|Sam Lane]] (Lois' father) attempted to capture Superman, seeing him as an alien threat. When he failed to do so, he forcibly shut down the ''Planet'' as part of an attempt to force Perry White and Lois to turn over any information they had on Superman that they haven't released to the public. Eventually, Superman turned the public to his favor and Sam Lane was seen in a bad light after his soldier John Corben AKA [[Metallo]] ruthlessly endangered civilians. These events lead to the people of Metropolis no longer looking at Lex Luthor as a savior and ''The Daily Planet'' becomes the city's top-selling paper, as well as a major player in media.

In ''[[Final Crisis]]'' #2, the villain [[Clayface]] triggers an explosion in The ''Daily Planet'' building, greatly damaging the offices, leaving many injured and at least one person dead. Lois Lane is hospitalized. Despite the chaos of ''Final Crisis'' and more than half of humanity being enslaved by evil, the newspaper continues to spread news and inform the public via a printing press in Superman's [[Fortress of Solitude]]. In ''Final Crisis'' #7, it is shown functioning once again.
