Barney Bushkin's journalistic career dates as far back as his college years at the very least, when he edited a college newspaper. During this time he unwittingly sparked a rivalry with J. Jonah Jameson, whose stories Barney had rejected for being sensasionalist. In revenge, Jameson once pranked Barney with an exploding pen.[1]
A few years later, Barney had become the publisher of the Daily Globe, the main competitor of the Daily Bugle, a newspaper owned by Jameson. Peter Parker once sold him exclusive photos of Spider-Man, but Bushkin's overbearing personality and his questions on how Parker managed to take the photos convinced him to stay with the Daily Bugle.[2]
One time Bushkin was kidnapped by Electro and the Blizzard who were trying blackmail both Bushkin and J. Jonah Jameson into handing over their paper's payrolls. However Spider-Man and Daredevil defeated the villains.[3]
Subsequently the Globe's new owner, K.J. Clayton, demanded Bushkin obtain Parker's services for the Globe.[4] Parker was dropped from the Bugle and accepted an offer from the Globe where Buskin gave him a salaried position and was highly supportive.[5] However he also at times assigned Parker to work with April Maye despite the two not getting on.[6] Following an attempted hostile takeover of the Globe by Rupert Dockery, including the attempted murder of Clayton, publication of the paper was suspended and Bushkin was temporarily out of a job.[7] When it was revived he employed Eddie Brock as a jounalist.
