== History ==
The newspaper was founded by former President Westray on 23 August 2020 and officially registered on 13 September; the company was founded earlier but registered to use the #news section in Discord.<ref name=":1" /> It is self-claimed to be "the longest-running news source on the server."<ref name=":0" /> Democracy Daily employed [[Ansgard Ist|Ansgardd]] for three weeks to a month.<ref>[https://www.democracycraft.net/threads/press-advisor.2886/#post-8032 "Closed - Press Advisor | DemocracyCraft"]</ref> [[Bubba_Tea_]], husband of [[ElainaThomas29]], worked as its manager for some time.<ref>[https://www.democracycraft.net/threads/secretary-of-state.1956/#post-5212 "Closed - Secretary of State | DemocracyCraft"]</ref> In December 2020, the [[Department of Education and Commerce]] ranked [[Ray Corp]] (the umbrella corporation which held Democracy Daily) fifth in the nation when combined with [[Raybucks]] and [[Dunder Mifflin]], its other two subsidiaries. Its revenue was reported to be $303,000.<ref name=":2" /> Ray Corp was ranked fourth in February 2021 with a reported revenue of $615,000.<ref>[https://www.democracycraft.net/threads/business-rankings-february-2021.4009/ "Information - Business Rankings - February 2021 ¥ DemocracyCraft"]</ref> [[ElementPenguin]] was a writer for a period of time.<ref>[https://www.democracycraft.net/threads/press-advisor.2886/#post-7992 "Closed - Press Advisor | DemocracyCraft"]</ref>

Then-President Westray, owner of Democracy Daily, issued an executive order on 15 June 2022, pardoning his own newspaper, and others, of slander.<ref name=":3">[https://www.democracycraft.net/threads/executive-order-12-22-pardon-me-sailor.13529/ "Executive Order - Executive Order 12/22 - Pardon Me Sailor | DemocracyCraft"]</ref><blockquote>All news companies, including, but not limited to, [[The Redmont Journal]], [[The Redmont Times]], Democracy Daily, and any other news company (with the exception of [[Politico]]) are hereby pardoned of any crimes related to Slander.<ref name=":3" /></blockquote>On 25 July 2022, then-Representative [[xlayzur]] "motioned to add Democracy Daily to the Library of Congress; granting the DD with their own thread to preserve important articles and graphics relating to the Commonwealths political field over time." This motion passed 9-0-0.<ref>[https://www.democracycraft.net/threads/record-of-motions-14th-congress.14052/ <nowiki>"Report - Record of Motions [14th Congress] | DemocracyCraft"</nowiki>]</ref>

On 14 July 2022, "the Board of Democracy Daily voted to close operations," according to an official statement released by the company. "This was after multiple senior-level employees have left the server since." At its end, Democracy Daily had published over 300 articles.<ref name=":4">[https://discord.com/channels/673612908868927498/754622580777812130/997127660348125224 Discord | #news | DemocracyCraft]</ref><blockquote>I think journalism is a crucial aspect of all democracies. I've spent many hours and have dedicated a lot of time to keep Democracy Daily active and consistent. I hope the legacy of this newspaper is remembered, and it serves as a historical record of the past. —Westray.<ref name=":4" /></blockquote>
