The Daily Standard (French reformed: L'Standard Quotidien) is a Gylian newspaper, founded in 1958. It has a reputation as Gylias' newspaper of record.

History

It was founded in 1958, after the end of the Liberation War. Its founders were unaffiliated with any political current, and desired to give the newly independent Gylias a newspaper of record similar to other Tyranian nations.

The 1990s saw it adopt new technology such as digital printing, establish its website, and digitise its archives through BiblioNet.

Profile

Its political orientation is centrist. It is known for its strict emphasis on factual reporting and avoidance of sensationalism. Owing to its reputation as a newspaper of record, it is the preferred venue for heads of state or government who wish to address the Gylian public.

It publishes editions in English, French, and Gylic, with the latter edition using the various Gylic languages based on the native language of the respective writer or region referred to in the story.

Ownership and organisation

The Daily Standard is owned and published by the Standard Cooperative, legally constituted as an SCo. Its headquarters are in Nazrin, Envadra.

The newspaper has a 10-member Management Board and a 15-member Supervisory Board, elected yearly.

Its revenue comes from newsagent's sales, paid subscriptions, online orders, and donations. Donors are listed at the end of each issue. It does not accept advertising.
