The Daily News
The Daily News is a tabloid newspaper that was founded in 1919. It is a New York City newspaper, and the first to be published in the United States in the tabloid format. It is currently the eleventh highest-circulated newspaper in the country. It has a wide variety of stories, including intense city news coverage, celebrity gossip, comics, a sports section, and opinion sections. The paper also includes a wealth of classified ads and real estate listings. The paper has a long history of investigative journalism and is known for its controversial front-page headlines.
The newspaper’s early years were marked by numerous business problems and financial crises. Its staff frequently resigned in protest of layoffs and pay cuts. The newspaper was also the victim of a number of thefts and fires. The newspaper was saved from bankruptcy in 1924, when it merged with the Philadelphia Public Ledger. The merger was the first time a newspaper had ever merged with another newspaper in the United States.
In the 1940s, the Daily News grew rapidly, and reached its peak circulation of 2.4 million copies per day in 1947. The newspaper became the first New York City tabloid to be distributed nationally, and was a major influence on later tabloid newspapers. For much of this period, the newspaper was based in the iconic art deco Daily News Building on 42nd Street and Second Avenue, an official city and national landmark designed by John Mead Howells and Raymond Hood. The building sported a large globe and weather instruments in its lobby, and was used as the model for the Daily Planet building in the first two Superman films. The newspaper moved to a different building, 450 West 33rd Street (also known as Manhattan West), in 1995.
The paper’s reputation for controversial and sexy headlines was fueled by the work of its editor, Arthur Brisbane, who pushed to create a sexier image for the newspaper. He is also credited with introducing the term “tits and teases” to newspaper headlines, which refers to a sexy or scandalous story in a tabloid newspaper. The newspaper’s slogan, “The World’s Finest City Daily” is a reference to this early work.
Today, the newspaper is a daily newspaper that covers politics, crime, sports, and lifestyles in New York City. It is the largest local newspaper in the United States. It is owned by Tribune Publishing Company. Its editorial team is known for its strong liberal leanings. It has been ranked as a Skews Left publication by Ad Fontes Media, and is rated as Reliable in terms of analysis/fact reporting. The paper is available in print, online, and mobile devices. The newspaper has a staff of approximately 1,000 employees.
