Daily News

Daily News is identified in the diary through a reporter’s presence at Peter Marino’s birthday party for his dog. The brief reference places the newspaper at a social gathering that Andy Warhol also documented, but leaves the resulting coverage—and the outlet’s broader role—unstated.

Recorded Appearance

At the party, a reporter from Daily News was covering the event. Warhol noted the reporter’s presence and anticipated seeing what angle the coverage would take. The diary does not identify the reporter or say whether a story was ultimately published.

The Party as a News Scene

The gathering was held for Peter Marino’s dog and drew enough attention to attract a Daily News reporter. Warhol had gone to take photographs for his own Party book; two dishes at the party were marked with the names Archie and Amos, although he had not brought them. His account thus places newspaper reporting alongside his own photographic record of the occasion, without describing the reporter’s work in detail.

Limits of the Record

This mention establishes Daily News as a news outlet whose reporter covered the party, but provides no specific account of the paper’s coverage, editorial framing, or institutional practices. Warhol’s expectation that the story would have an angle remains just that: an expectation, not a report of what Daily News published.
