The Daily News App

The Daily News, founded in 1919, is an American newspaper based in New York City. The paper focuses on local and national politics, sports, and celebrity news in addition to its longstanding tradition of covering the New York City crime scene. The Daily News has been a major competitor to its rival tabloid, the New York Post, since the 1940s, and is currently owned by Mortimer Zuckerman. The newspaper is well known for its investigative journalism and the screamer headlines that it has used to grab reader attention, such as “Ford to City: Drop Dead” in 1975.

The News is also known for its photography, with a large staff of photographers that has been in operation for more than 100 years. The paper is an early user of the Associated Press wirephoto service, and is also famous for its photos of police and fire scenes. The News is an heirloom of the New York City community, and has been described as one of the most influential newspapers in the world.

Each News article contains comprehension and critical thinking questions found below the story, which help students understand and think about the topic. The News also provides background and resources for each story to provide students with additional information and support their understanding.

In the late 20th century, the Daily News struggled with circulation declines as it continued to compete with its rival tabloid in sensational headlines and a relentless focus on scandal. The paper’s editorial positions on issues such as gun control, abortion, and gay rights have been criticized by some. The newspaper is also known for its long-running battle with the New York Post and its even more sensational coverage of city and state politics.

The newspaper is available in print and digital editions, which are optimized for mobile devices. Users can download the editions to read offline, and share stories with friends via email.
