Who's Who in the Superman Comics

The National Whisper

Based in Metropolis, The National Whisper is America's leading tabloid. Printing all sorts of stories, with most of them leaning to the absurd, The National Whisper has run afoul of the Man of Steel on occasion. One such incident took place after the apparent death of Lex Luthor. The paper printed the headline, "Superman Helped Luthor Fake Death, Says Expert." Once aware of the article, Superman immediately flew to the offices of The National Whisper, and confronted the editor on duty.

"...Maybe the Whisper doesn't have the rep that the Planet or the Star do, but our job is still the same... to sell papers!" (from ACT #668)
