The Daily News
A daily newspaper is a publication that contains news and information about current events. A daily newspaper may cover a variety of topics, including politics, business, sports, and entertainment. Typically, daily newspapers are printed in the form of a folded leaflet and distributed to subscribers or the general public.
The New York Daily News is a tabloid-style American newspaper founded in 1919. Originally called the Illustrated Daily News, it was the first successful tabloid newspaper in the United States. The paper became known for sensational coverage of crime, scandal and violence, as well as lurid photographs and cartoons. During its heyday the Daily News enjoyed a circulation in excess of 2 million copies per day.
Today, the Daily News is one of the largest circulation metropolitan daily newspapers in the United States. It features intense city news coverage, celebrity gossip, classified ads, sports, and a dedicated opinion section. The newspaper also publishes the work of noted writers and columnists.
In addition to the main daily edition, the Daily News produces a number of special publications that feature in-depth reports on specific topics, such as national security, health and fitness, or fashion. It also offers a number of websites and mobile apps.
The Daily News is a member of the Association of American Publishers. It is owned by Tronc, a media company headquartered in Chicago, Illinois. It was founded in 1919, and was the first daily to use a tabloid format. The News was once the highest-circulation newspaper in the country, but its circulation has declined significantly since then.
During its heyday, the Chicago Daily News was a major competitor to The New York Times for news of interest to the general public. The newspaper was well-known for its international coverage and was widely read across the United States.
During the Great Depression, the Daily News focused on political wrongdoing and social intrigue such as Wallis Simpson’s romance with King Edward VIII, which led to the abdication of the British throne. It was also an early user of the Associated Press wirephoto service and developed a large staff of photographers. The newspaper was published until 1978. It is often referred to as one of the best newspapers in the United States during its era. Its name was revived in 1995 when the newspaper moved from its former headquarters at 220 East 42nd Street, an art deco building designed by John Mead Howells and Raymond Hood.
