The Palm Beach Daily News, affectionately known as "The Shiny Sheet," was founded in 1897 by S. Bobo Dean and his brother Joel. The idea came from S. Bobo Dean's recognition of the need for a newspaper to chronicle life in Palm Beach, which was rapidly gaining popularity as a winter vacation spot for the nation's elite. Initially launched as The Daily Lake Worth News, it was renamed the Palm Beach Daily News by 1899. The newspaper changed hands several times over the years, being owned by Henry M. Flagler, the Davies family, and John H. Perry Sr. before being acquired by Cox Enterprises in 1969. Today, the Palm Beach Daily News is owned by Gannett, following a series of mergers and acquisitions involving GateHouse Media. Based in West Palm Beach, Florida, the Palm Beach Daily News covers a wide range of topics relevant to the Palm Beach community. Their content includes local news, society happenings, real estate, business, government, and lifestyle in Palm Beach. The newspaper also reports on cultural events, arts, and entertainment. While not primarily focused on sports, it does cover sports-related stories that intersect with Palm Beach life. **One interesting fact**: Palm Beach Daily's nickname, "The Shiny Sheet", originates from how they print their papers on heavy, slick newspaper stock, giving the final product a "shiny" look that has become the paper's calling card.
