Operations

According to the newspaper itself, "It is the mission of the Daily Journal to be the most accurate, fair and relevant local news source for those who live, work or play on the MidPeninsula. By combining local news coverage, analysis and insight with the latest business, lifestyle, state, national and world news, we seek to provide our readers with the highest quality information resource in San Mateo County. Our pages belong to you, our readers, and we choose to reflect the diverse character of this dynamic and ever changing community."

The Daily Journal's publisher is Jerry Lee and its editor is Jon Mays. A 2007 poll on its website www.smdailyjournal.com indicated its readers consider it to be politically moderate. It is one of the few independently owned and operated newspapers in the San Francisco Bay Area.

In 2008, there was an incident of racks of the papers being cleaned out by a man working for a competing newspaper, Palo Alto Daily Post.[2]

The Washington Post stated that the paper is one of the few publications that report on East Palo Alto within San Mateo County.[3]
