The Daily Worker was a newspaper established by the American Communist party in 1924. While it generally reflected the prevailing views of the party, attempts were made to make it a paper that reflected the spectrum of left-wing opinion. At its peak, the newspaper achieved a circulation of 35,000.
The Daily Worker had constant financial problems and ceased publication in 1957 when, as a result of McCarthyism, membership of the American Communist Party had fallen to 10,000.
The current newspaper of the Communist Party, USA, is the People's Weekly World.
A different Daily Worker newspaper was founded in Britain in 1930 by the Communist Party of Great Britain. It changed its name to Morning Star in 1966, under which name it is still being publshed daily.
