The offices of the Daily News are in Chatsworth, and much of the paper's reporting is targeted toward readers in the San Fernando Valley in Los Angeles.

Its stories tend to focus on issues involving local San Fernando Valley businesses, education, and crime.

During this period, the newspaper was delivered four times a week for free to readers in 14 zoned editions in the San Fernando Valley.

In 1976, to de-emphasize the Van Nuys location, the paper changed its name to the Valley News and Green Sheet, and gradually converted from the four times a week operation to a daily newspaper with paid circulation.

An even earlier newspaper called the Los Angeles Daily News was printed beginning in 1869 and continuing for a number of years after.
