Brooklyn Eagle - The Present-Day Eagle

The Present-Day Eagle

The Brooklyn Daily Bulletin began publishing when the original Eagle folded in 1955. In 1996 it merged with a newly revived Brooklyn Daily Eagle, and now publishes a morning paper five days a week under the Brooklyn Daily Eagle name. The revived Brooklyn Eagle has no relationship with the original Eagle; it adopted the Eagle name (adding it to its Bulletin title) after the Eagle name fell into the public domain, and following a dispute with another Brooklyn publisher over ownership of the Eagle name. It is one of three English-language daily newspapers published in Brooklyn (the others are the New York Daily Challenge and Hamodia).

As an homage to the original Eagle it publishes a daily feature called "On This Day in History," made up of much material from the original Eagle. It is currently published by J. Dozier Hasty under the auspices of Everything Brooklyn Media. The Eagle editorial staff has grown to include 25 full-time reporters, writers and photographers. Thus, it has seen an increase in original, locally geared news stories and spot news photographs.

Its coverage has grown to include the Bay Ridge section, where a weekly version of the paper, The Bay Ridge Eagle, is published.

Its mascot is "Eddie the Eagle."
