The Daily News
The New York Daily News is a tabloid newspaper, the first to be successful in this format. It began publication in 1919 and is one of the largest metropolitan newspapers in the United States. The paper is known for its photographs and terse headlines, and has won several Pulitzer Prizes. It is also famous for its feud with its city rival, the New York Post.
In the early 1990s the paper was facing financial difficulties, but it managed to survive and become profitable in 1994. The success of the newspaper can be attributed to the efforts of its new owner, Mortimer Zuckerman, who took over the paper after its previous owner, the Tribune Company, failed in a bid to merge it with the New York Post.
Under Zuckerman’s leadership the Daily News has regained its former position as New York’s most popular newspaper. The paper includes intense city news coverage, celebrity gossip, classified ads, a sports section, and an opinion section. In addition, it was the first newspaper to publish a nationally syndicated comics section and launched a national insert magazine for African-Americans called BET Weekend in 1997.
Unlike the National Review, which was intellectual and interventionist, the Daily News embraced populist attitudes, attacking bureaucrats, foreign policy, communists, and taxes in its editorial viewpoints and in its coverage choices. It fought like a “tiger” for the citizens of New York and the people of the country as a whole, which was reflected in its nickname, the Tiger Paper.
While it is difficult to determine whether readers purchased the paper primarily because of its right-wing political positions, the News did occupy an important niche in American politics. Its populist ideology and isolationist approach to foreign policy put it in the same league as mass-circulation right-wing papers such as the Washington Times-Herald, which reprinted many Daily News editorials and cartoons on national issues.
The paper emphasized crime stories and human-interest stories, although these subjects frequently carried strong political messages. For example, the stories about Frank Rizzo’s and Kenneth Durr’s opposition to integrated neighborhoods, although rooted in economic anxieties rather than racial hatred, could be read as expressing similar fears that blacks would bring down property values.
In 1998 the Daily News purchased a series of Goss Newsliner color presses, which allowed it to publish in full-color. These presses are able to run at high speeds and can print up to eight pages at once.
In addition, they have advanced automation and quality control systems. These improvements have enabled the Daily News to produce consistently high-quality prints. These changes have been recognized with awards and recognition, including being named a Printing Industries of America (PIA) Quality Printer of the Year three times. In addition, ECO3 has been awarded multiple ISO 9001 certifications for quality management. These certifications are evidence of the quality of work and commitment to customer satisfaction provided by ECO3.
