For last 24 hours:

Where publish_date >= sysdate -1

or anytime today (midnight forward)

where publish_date >= trunc(sysdate)

If this is a big table, I assume you have an index on publish_date. If you use trunc(publish_date), it may not be able to use the index (untested, but run an explain plan to be sure).
