The Daily News was a national daily newspaper in the United Kingdom from 1846-1870. The News was founded in 1846 by Charles Dickens, who also served as the newspaper's first editor. It was conceived as a Radicalism (historical)|radical rival to the right-wing Morning Chronicle. In 1901, Quaker chocolate manufacturer George Cadbury bought The Daily News and used the paper to campaign for old age pensions and against sweatshop labour. As a pacifist, Cadbury opposed the Boer War – and the Daily News followed his line. The Wikipedia page is [1].
