The Daily News – A Brief, Concise Selection of Today’s Headlines
The Daily News, formerly the New York Daily News, is an American newspaper founded in 1919 as the first successful tabloid and later named after its home city of New York. Its early success was due to sensational reporting of crime and scandal, lurid photographs and cartoons, and celebrity coverage, all aimed at a middle-class readership.
The paper is distributed throughout the metropolitan area of New York City and has several sister publications in New Jersey, Connecticut, and Westchester County. The newspaper is also available online and through a free smartphone app. The New York Daily News was a founding member of the News Media Alliance in 1997, a national trade association that advocates for the preservation and expansion of local journalism.

In a bustling neighborhood in southwestern Pennsylvania, the city of McKeesport was once home to a daily newspaper with long roots in the community. After the News closed in 2015, residents struggled to keep up with what was happening around them and to separate facts from gossip on social media. The story of McKeesport is one version of a national trend: Technology has disrupted the newspaper business and driven many small local papers into bankruptcy, creating vast stretches of America where there is no traditional news source.
In this video, journalist Andrew Conte explores the consequences of local news loss in the borough of McKeesport, PA. He discusses the importance of local news, the impact of digital disruption, and what’s being done to fight it. He also examines how the death of a local paper can affect communities across the nation, and shares an interview with the author of the book “Death of the Daily News,” Shelby R. Buckman.
