The Day is published by The Day News & Media. It has no advertisements. The first story was published on 6 January 2011, titled "Terrible floods in Australia bring ruin and snakes".

In 2015, The Day launched its sister publication, News Detectives, (formerly The Day Explorer) a daily mini-newspaper for primary school students. The first story was published on 13 April, titled "Cornish people declared a national minority".

The Day partners with the LEGO Group on Build the Change Tuesdays, getting students to come up with creative solutions to the sustainability challenges affecting our planet.
