About Daily News
The New York Daily News (or simply the Daily News) is an American tabloid newspaper founded in 1919 and based in New York City. It was the first successful American tabloid newspaper and, at its peak, was one of the largest newspapers in the United States, reaching over a million readers a day. Its success stemmed from its sensational coverage of crime, scandal, and violence and its lurid photographs and cartoons. The paper also developed a reputation for defending the First Amendment and the rights of the people of New York City, particularly those who were considered to be marginalized by society.
Today, the newspaper focuses on national and local news, including New York exclusives and politics. It also covers sports and celebrity gossip. Its award-winning writers and columnists are known for their strong opinions and insightful writing. Its editors are dedicated to bringing their audience the best of New York and the world around them.
Throughout the years, the newspaper has changed its political positions from a staunchly Republican stance to a more moderate, centrist stance. The Daily News is also famous for its front page headlines. One of the most memorable was its 1975 headline after President Gerald Ford vetoed a bankruptcy bailout for New York City. It read “FORD TO CITY: DROP DEAD”.
The Daily News was bought by controversial British media mogul Robert Maxwell in 1991. He turned the newspaper around, increasing circulation and negotiating with unions after a long strike. He even brought the newspaper back to profitability, which it had not seen in decades.
In addition to its regular news articles, the Daily News features many recurring columns, such as “The Way We Live Now”, “News You Can Use” and “News on the Street”. These articles offer an inside look into current trends in culture, politics, and entertainment. They also provide advice on how to deal with certain events or issues. The newspaper also publishes a variety of opinion pieces, ranging from serious to humorous.
Lastly, the Daily News has a special section called the “Local” that features articles and stories about a specific area or region. This section is a popular source of information for readers looking to know what is going on in their neighborhood or city. The paper also has a blog and offers various other online resources. The website is a great place to find breaking news, as well as the latest information on the Yankees, Mets, and Giants. The Daily News also allows users to download its editions for offline reading. Its app is available for iPhone and iPad. It is free to download, but subscriptions are required for full access to the publication. You can also share the news articles on social media sites like Facebook and Twitter. The website and app are available in English and Spanish. In the past, the Daily News also had an edition for Chinese-speaking readers. The paper is published every day except Sunday.
