The New York Daily News (or simply the Daily News) is an American tabloid newspaper based in New York City. It is published every day except Sunday, and has been a newspaper since 1907. The newspaper was named for its early use of tabloid format; it was the first U.S. daily paper to print in this style. Today, the Daily News is one of the largest newspapers in the world. The newspaper features intense city news coverage, celebrity gossip, classified ads, comics, a sports section and an opinion section. The Daily News is owned by Tribune Publishing, a division of the Gannett Company.
The Daily News is also known for its photojournalism, particularly its portraits of public figures and celebrities, and it was among the earliest to feature such work. The paper has long been a strong advocate for the rights of working people and has supported several major labor movements. The New York Daily News has also been at the forefront of digital journalism.
In addition to providing current events news, the paper provides opinion pieces, analysis and investigative reporting. It has a reputation for editorial courage and has pushed the boundaries of free speech. Its editorial page has long been considered to be a bellwether for liberal attitudes in the United States.
It is not without controversy, however, as it has been accused of bias and has a number of critics in the media. In a move to address concerns about its reporting, the newspaper changed its editorial policy in January 2021 and began to remove the names of anonymous contributors.
Its circulation has varied over the years, reaching a peak of 2.4 million copies in 1947. It is still a very popular newspaper in the New York area, and many residents of the metropolitan area consider it their “home paper”. The Daily News is also well known for its tabloid layout and graphics, as well as its emphasis on local news. It has won numerous awards for its writing, photography and design. Its obituaries have become famous, including the death of John Lennon in 1980 and the assassination of John F. Kennedy in 1963. The newspaper has an archive of historical articles, and in 2021 an anonymous alumnus made a gift to the Yale Library that has facilitated the migration and digitization of the Daily News Historical Archive to a new platform. Teachers can use this archive for reading, writing and research activities. The newspaper also has a set of teacher guides that include discussion prompts and short activities for integrating news articles into daily instruction in language arts, social studies and science. In addition, the newspaper has an online resource called myON News that delivers five age-appropriate current event articles each weekday for students to expand their knowledge of the world while building content-area and 21st century skills.
