History

The Daily News was the result of a forced merger of two papers. The Standard was first published as the Tanganyika Standard in January 1930 by the Kenyan East African Standard Ltd., until 1967 when it was taken over by a multinational London-Rhodesian Company (LONRHO). After the creation of Tanzania in 1964, it became simply The Standard. On February 5th 1970, the paper was nationalised by the Tanzanian government. The Nationalist was first published on April 17th 1964, as a government-owned daily, and struggled to compete with the Standard. On January 16th 1972, TANU decided to end the rivalry between the papers and forced a merger: The new paper, Daily News was first published on April 26th 1972.[1] The company which publishes it retained the name 'Standard' and is still known as 'Tanzania Standard (Newspapers) Limited.'

Its Kiswahili sister paper Habari Leo was established in 2007. It is in tabloid form, unlike the Daily News which together with the Sunday News are all broadsheets.

Editions

Daily News is the English version newspaper [2] while HabariLeo is the Swahili version newspaper. [3] There is also a Sunday edition called Sunday News.
