Daily News
A daily news is a newspaper that reports the latest events. Typically, daily news reports national and international events, as well as local events that impact the community. It may also include articles on politics, culture, and current affairs. A daily news can be published on a print or online platform. Some of these platforms also provide a variety of multimedia features, including audio and video clips.
Founded in 1919, the New York Daily News is America’s first tabloid newspaper. It is known for its over-the-top headlines and sensational stories, going toe-to-toe with the more prestigious New York Times and Rupert Murdoch’s New York Post in the city. The News is also a leading publisher of magazines, operates its own television and radio stations, and maintains a large social media presence.
The Daily News is often seen as politically midway between the more liberal New York Times and the more conservative New York Post, though it tends slightly towards liberalism. The newspaper’s editorial page espouses a liberal position on issues like abortion while advocating a more conservative position on crime and foreign policy, particularly pro-Israel and anti-Castro positions.
In 1926, the Daily News reached a circulation of one million copies, making it the country’s most-read newspaper at that time. By 1947, it had reached its peak circulation of 2.4 million copies, and was the eleventh-highest-circulation paper in the United States. The Daily News was also a pioneer in tabloid journalism, printing photographs on both the front and back pages. The newspaper later established the television station WPIX and the radio station WPIX-FM.
From the late 1920s to 1995, the newspaper was headquartered at the Daily News Building on 42nd Street, an official city landmark designed by architects John Mead Howells and Raymond Hood, and featured a giant globe and weather instruments in its lobby. The News Building served as the model for the fictional Daily Planet building in the Superman movies. The News moved to its current headquarters at 450 West 33rd Street (also called Manhattan West) in 1995.
