It was originally planned to launch The Daily in San Francisco on January 19, 2011; however, the launch was delayed by News Corporation and Apple.[1] The Daily was launched on February 2, 2011, at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York City.[2]

The journal was placed "on watch" in July 2012[3] due to disappointing results. Despite reporting over 100,000 paying subscriptions, the journal was losing an estimated $30 million annually.[4]

On December 3, 2012, News Corporation announced that The Daily would cease operations effective December 15 as part of a reorganization of News Corporation's assets.[5][6] Its URL now redirects to the site of the New York Post.

News Corp CEO Rupert Murdoch said The Daily "could not find a large enough audience quickly enough to convince us the business model was sustainable in the long-term".[7]
