Daily News is a newspaper with a wide range of topics, including politics, sports, and celebrity gossip. Its coverage is often in-depth and includes commentary and editorial pieces that provide different perspectives on a topic. Many of these papers also contain comics and other entertainment features. They are usually available on a weekly basis and can be found online or in print form.
The New York Daily News is a morning tabloid newspaper founded in 1919. It was the first successful tabloid in the United States and reached its peak circulation in 1947, with over two million copies distributed per day. At the time, it was the largest newspaper in North America. The Daily News became known for its sensational crime and scandal coverage, lurid photographs, and celebrity gossip. It was the inspiration for the Daily Planet building in the first two Superman films.
Today, the newspaper has a circulation of about 1.3 million and is owned by Tronc. Its headquarters are located in the historic Art Deco Daily News Building at 220 East 42nd Street, designed by John Mead Howells and Raymond Hood. The newspaper was the first in the world to publish a color photograph on its front page. Its logo is a large red circle with the word Daily surrounded by three overlapping rings and stylized letters.
Its website offers a free daily E-dition, an interactive digital version of the newspaper that can be read on desktop and mobile devices. It offers a complete reading experience that includes a simple user interface, an easy-to-use navigation bar, and a variety of innovative tools designed to help readers find what they are looking for. The newspaper also provides a number of free apps for Android and iOS.
The newspaper has also expanded its operations beyond its physical paper and now maintains multiple websites, radio stations, television channels, and a podcast. In addition, the Daily News has an extensive online archive that is searchable by subject and keywords.
In 1975, The Daily News rolled out what would become its most famous headline in its history, responding to President Ford’s speech vetoing a bankruptcy bailout for New York City by declaring on the front page that “FORD TO CITY: DROP DEAD”. The newspaper had earlier shifted from its historically staunch Republican stance to a more flexibly centrist one.
The newspaper has continued to evolve in response to changes in the media industry and public tastes. In 2016, its circulation fell below a million for the first time in over a century, and readership was further depressed by the emergence of Donald Trump as a dominant figure in the national political landscape. In an attempt to reclaim its audience, The Daily News adopted a more provocative tone and style, notably by giving Senator Ted Cruz the middle finger via the Statue of Liberty’s hand and rehashing its most famous headline in the direction of the incoming President: “TRUMP TO THE WORLD: DROP DEAD”. These moves were part of a larger effort to regain relevance and market share.
