The two founders had no background in journalism, and believed their technology experience would help them avoid problems other news outlets had encountered.[2] Serving as publisher, Asay was the only full-time employee as of 2011;[2] according to Nieman Labs, as of 2015, the annual revenue was less than $50,000.[3]

The 2017 book Media Control: News as an Institution of Power and Social Control cited the Daily News among several examples of local news outlets regularly publishing local mug shots with minimal context or follow-up reporting, a practice it labeled "media shaming".[4]

Commentary by publisher Asay has been quoted by the Register Guard, another Eugene newspaper,[5] and The Oregonian has picked up stories the News has covered.[6]

A different newspaper used the same name from 1931 to 1942.[7] It was also known as the Eugene Morning News and Eugene News.[8]
