Founded in 1919, Daily News is New York City’s hometown newspaper. It was the first successful tabloid newspaper in the United States, and at its peak had a circulation of over 2.4 million. It is known for its zesty headlines — perhaps most famously, “Ford to City: Drop Dead” during the city’s financial woes in 1975 — and gossip, as well as strong city coverage. It has won many awards for its journalism, including the Pulitzer Prize, most recently in collaboration with ProPublica, which revealed how the city’s housing authority used a loophole to illegally evict poor residents.
Located at the center of the most populous city in the country, it serves as a touchstone for the urban, ethnically diverse community it represents. The Daily News reaches more New Yorkers than any other print or digital publication, and is committed to telling the stories of every neighborhood in New York City. The newspaper’s award-winning editorial team is dedicated to providing its readers with the truth about the people and events around them.
The Daily News provides readers with a rich mix of hard news, breaking local and national stories, sports, entertainment, commentary, comics and cartoons. It also offers a variety of digital and mobile tools to enhance the news experience. Its extensive online offerings include Daily News Live, a live video platform that delivers daily news from the studios in Times Square.
Daily News is owned by Tronc, which also publishes the Los Angeles Times and other newspapers across the country. The company announced that it had bought the Daily News for $1 along with assuming its pension and other liabilities. The paper had been struggling in recent years, and its revenue declined by double-digit percentages in each of the past three years.
Dedicated to serving its readers, the Daily News provides an array of innovative and popular products. Its website features an interactive map that allows users to view photos and locations of the latest breaking news in their neighborhoods. Its social media channels allow viewers to connect with reporters and editors and share stories with their friends. Its e-commerce site offers customers the ability to shop for Daily News merchandise, such as t-shirts, hats, and coffee mugs.
The Yale Daily News, founded on January 28, 1878, is the nation’s oldest college daily newspaper and remains financially and editorially independent.
