Launch

Logo used before 2017.

A high-profile advertising campaign with the tagline, "Speak up, it's in your DNA", preceded the birth of Daily News and Analysis in 2005. The context into which the publication was introduced was described by the Indian media as tumultuous, with price cuts and competitive activity occurring.[1][2]

Discontinuation of the editorial section

In an announcement on its front page on 1 February 2010, former editor-in-chief Aditya Sinha announced that DNA would drop its "edit page," the section containing editorials, analysis and opinion.[3]

Circulation

In 2012, Quarter, DNA added 21,000 readers, taking its all India readership to 9.3 lakh.[4]

In February 2007, DNA announced that its paid circulation had reached 400,000 in Mumbai. It had previously reached 300,000 in October 2006. In May 2006, DNA authorised Ernst & Young to certify its circulation figures.[5]
