History[]
A Pup Named Scooby-Doo[]
Season one[]
Shaggy had a paper route with them until the discovery of criminal activities there by his boss forced him to quit.[1] It's likely that the newspaper hired another publisher as it's still in operation after Mr. Conrad's arrest.
Shaggy and Scooby-Doo got their picture on the front page when they were accused of stealing samurai swords.[2]
There was a front-page article about the crimes of Stinkweed.[3]
Scooby-Doo! Team Up[]
While trying to figure out another plan to capture Yankee Doodle Pigeon, Dick Dastardy sees Mystery Inc. on the cover of the Daily Babbler which has an article about the capture of Bluestone the Great, giving him the idea to hire them in order to catch the pigeon.

Notes/trivia[]
- In the first episode, the Daily Babbler is misspelled frequently, giving the impression that there may have been some confusion of the spelling/pronunciation from the animators.
- As the gang follow the tire tracks to the Daily Babbler, both signs outside read "Daily Babble" and the sign at the top of the building still shows this while the camera is on the outside while Scooby messes with the elevator.
- The only identifiable employees were Mr. Conrad and Shaggy in A Bicycle Built for Boo!, and they both lost their jobs (or quit in the latter's case) by the episode's end.
- The Babbler has a model of Saturn on top of its building, much like the Daily Planet of Superman fame.
