The Daily Worker was a newspaper published in Chicago founded by communists, socialists, union members, and other activists.

Contributors to its pages included Robert Minor and Fred Ellis (cartoonists), Lester Rodney (sports editor), David Karr, Richard Wright, John L. Spivak, Peter Fryer, Woody Guthrie, and Louis F. Budenz.

The Toiler continued this numbering, even though a typographical error made its debut issue #85 November 26, 1919.

[4] Beginning in the popular front period of the 1930s, the paper broadened its coverage of the arts and entertainment.

The paper's sports coverage combined enthusiasm for baseball with the usual Marxist social critique of capitalist society and bourgeois attitudes.

[citation needed] After a short hiatus, the party published a weekend paper called The Worker from 1958 until 1968.

A Tuesday edition called The Midweek Worker was added in 1961 and also continued until 1968, when production was accelerated.

Print publication of the People's World ceased in 2010 in favor of an online edition.
