Daily news is the information that occurs during a day. It can be about events, people, or trends and is often published in newspapers, on TV, or on the Internet. News articles are usually written by professionals and are then edited by editors. Historically, news was only available in print but now most information can be found instantly online. Some journalists are dedicated to finding the latest daily news and then reporting it to their readers.
The New York Daily News is a daily newspaper in the United States that was founded in 1919 as a tabloid and once had the highest weekday circulation of any paper in the world. It has won Pulitzer Prizes for commentary, feature writing and international reporting and is known for its brawny metro tabloid journalism that dug into crime and corruption in the city of New York. The paper served as the inspiration for the Daily Planet of Superman fame and the tabloid depicted in the 1994 movie “The Paper.” The newspaper’s founder was Joseph Medill Patterson, a veteran journalist from Chicago, Illinois.
In its 20th century heyday, the paper attracted readers with sensational stories of crime and scandal and lurid photographs. It was also one of the first papers to use the Associated Press wirephoto service and developed a large staff of photographers. It was known as the “New York Picture Newspaper” and influenced tabloid newspapers throughout the world.
The paper has a long history of political activism and is the most influential newspaper in its market. It supported isolationism in the early stages of World War II and, in the 1960s, espoused conservative populism. In the 1990s, however, the paper moved to a more moderately liberal position.
It has a reputation for investigative journalism, and its investigative coverage of corruption in the city of New York led to the conviction of Mayor Fiorello H. LaGuardia in 1931. In addition, the newspaper has a strong tradition of public service and its editorials often weigh in on controversial issues in society.
Recently, the paper has been struggling financially and was sold to Tronc in 2017. The newspaper continues to operate from its headquarters in Manhattan and maintains a number of local offices, including offices in the Bronx, Brooklyn and Queens, within One Police Plaza and at various state and federal courthouses. It also publishes a weekly magazine called News-2-You and several special editions during the year that celebrate Yale’s Indigenous, Black, AAPI and Latinx communities.
The rapid changes underway at newspapers owned by Tribune Publishing, including the New York Daily News, in the wake of a takeover by cost-slashing hedge fund Alden Global Capital have left many journalists with a profound case of the jitters. The company has offered buyouts, imposed furloughs and reduced pay and is in the process of closing its newsrooms. Some employees have started campaigns to attract local benefactors to save their publications. They hope to have enough money to continue their mission to inform the community and promote democracy.
