Meanwhile, copies of the state-owned Herald newspaper have reportedly once again been seized and destroyed by opposition activists, in apparent revenge attacks for the public burning of copies of The Daily News by government supporters last week.
Just 24 hours after its printing press was blown up in a series of bomb blasts, The Daily News is once again on the streets of Harare.
The paper only has 16 pages - half the usual 32 - but the fact that it has come out at all will greatly boost the morale of both its workers and Zimbabwe's newspaper-reading public.
However, The Daily News reveals that notes were found behind the smouldering remains of the printing press claiming, "This is the work of the Authentic MDC".
This previously unheard of group accuses the 2 year-old privately owned paper of siding with "the racist white minority" in the MDC, which it blames for recent by-election defeats.
Intimidatory atmosphere
The paper was published by printers who, fearing for their safety, wish to remain anonymous.
The extra cost of paying private printers, compounded by the loss of advertising revenue from fewer pages, will be a massive financial blow to The Daily News, on top of the loss of the US$2m printing press.
Meanwhile, copies of the state-owned Herald newspaper have reportedly once again been seized and destroyed by opposition activists, in apparent revenge attacks for the public burning of copies of The Daily News by government supporters last week.
On Saturday, just hours before the bombs exploded, a Herald driver was beaten unconscious, while war veterans marched through Harare, snatching copies of The Daily News from terrified passers-by before tearing them to shreds.
Not giving up
Despite the government's condemnation of the bombing and the deployment of police officers to all media institutions to end the newspaper wars, The Daily News remains sceptical about its sincerity.
It points out that no-one has been charged for last year's bombing of its editorial offices or the alleged plot by state security services to assassinate its editor, Geoff Nyarota.
But, The Daily News is not despondent, "For [the] chance to breathe the clean, fresh air of freedom, this newspaper is ready to continue the fight."
