===The New 52=== [[File:The Daily Planet building.jpg|thumb|upright|The Daily Planet building as it appears in the New 52. Art from ''Superman'' (vol. 3) #1 (November 2011) by George Pérez and Jesús Merino.]] With the reboot of DC's line of comics in 2011, the ''Daily Planet'' was shown in the ''Superman'' comics as being bought by Morgan Edge and merged with the [[Galaxy Broadcasting System]], similar to the Silver/Bronze Age continuity.<ref>''Superman'' (vol. 3) #1 (September 2011)</ref> In ''Action Comics'', it is revealed that in the new history/universe, Clark Kent begins his journalism career in Metropolis roughly six years before Galaxy Broadcasting merges with the ''Daily Planet''. Along with being a writer for ''The Daily Star'', partly because editor George Taylor was a friend of his adopted parents, Clark is an active blogger who speaks against political corruption and reports on the troubles of everyday citizens who are not often the focus of news media. While working at the ''Star'', Clark meets ''Planet'' photographer Jimmy Olsen and the two become friends despite working at rival publications. Clark is also a great fan of Lois Lane's work at the ''Daily Planet'', eventually meeting her through Jimmy. Months after Superman makes his public debut, Clark leaves ''The Daily Star'' on good terms and accepts a position at ''The Daily Planet''. After the merger with Galaxy Broadcasting, Lois was promoted to run the TV division, with Clark acting as an on-the-scene reporter for the TV division. Clark is later assigned the "Superman beat." But after rising tension between himself and Lois, as well as with Galaxy Broadcasting head Morgan Edge, Clark concludes that the ''Daily Planet'' is now more concerned with ratings and internet page views than actual journalism. He quits and goes off to begin an independent, internet news site with fellow journalist Cat Grant. Though Lois and Jimmy consider this to be a bad and risky decision, they continue to act as Clark's friends and confidants, offering aid when they can. At the conclusion of the New 52, following the New 52 Superman's death, Lex Luthor buys the ''Daily Planet''.<ref>''Justice League'' (vol. 2) #52</ref>
