c-chart

Explanation:

Since the newspaper register the number of daily errors, differentiating between different days, the publisher should use a c-chart.

The c-chart is a type of control monitors "count"-type data (number of typographic errors in a paper), it is also useful for counting the number of unconformities on each unit (each day of publishing). Therefore, the c-chart is the most recommended.
