Naujienos with the English subtitle The Lithuanian Daily News[1] was a Lithuanian-language socialist daily newspaper published from Chicago, United States. Established in February 1914, it became the first daily of the Lithuanian-Americans.[2] After the October Revolution of 1917, the newspaper shifted its political orientation away from communism and socialism and towards social democracy.[3] The newspaper helped to raise funds for Lituanica and Lituanica II, two transatlantic flights by Lithuanian pilots.[4] As of 1960, it had a circulation of around 14,000.[5] Pijus Grigaitis (1914–1919, 1919–1969) and Martynas Gudelis (1969–1986) were the long-time editors of the paper. Soon after Gudelis, the newspaper ceased publication.[6]
