The Daily News

Founded in 1919 by Joseph Medill Patterson as Illustrated Daily News, New York Daily News is one of the nation’s largest circulation newspapers. The Daily News also produces specialty publications for local business and agriculture, and has won many awards for editorial writing and photography. In addition to its strong local news coverage, the Daily News offers an extensive sports section. The newspaper’s website, The Daily News Online, is one of the most comprehensive news websites in the world. It offers readers the latest digital tools and interactive features to enhance the reading experience.

In 2017, The Daily News was acquired by Chicago-based media company Tronc. Prior to that, it was purchased by New York real estate developer Mortimer B. Zuckerman in 1993. It was then sold to Tronc in 2017. While The Daily News was still a print publication, its circulation continued to drop. In late 2016, the paper’s circulation was more than 200,000.

During its time in New York City, the Daily News was a tabloid. The newspaper featured lurid photographs and cartoons that attracted readers. It also emphasized political wrongdoing and social intrigue. It was known for its sensational coverage of crime, and was the first daily newspaper to achieve a circulation of two million copies. By 1947, the Daily News had reached a peak circulation of 2.4 million copies a day.

In the 1970s, the Daily News began shifting its editorial positions. It remained a staunch Republican paper until the mid-1990s, but began to sway left. By the mid-1990s, the newspaper was regarded as a moderate liberal alternative to the right-wing New York Post. It also supported a more isolationist approach to World War II. The Daily News also began to shift in its coverage of politics, shifting from a right-leaning stance to a more centrist approach. In addition, the Daily News began to produce more political cartoons, as the political atmosphere became more volatile.

The Daily News’s editorial stance has been described by the New York Times as “populist” and “high-minded,” and it has been described as “flexibly centrist.” The paper is a member of the Pulitzer Prize Foundation. In 2017, the Daily News received a Pulitzer Prize for Public Service.

The Daily News’s history is filled with journalistic giants. The first editor of The Daily News was W.H. Brandish, who later became an editor at the Los Angeles Times. The Daily News was also a pioneer user of the Associated Press wirephoto service. It also had four columns instead of the six columns that are used today.

The Daily News was also one of the first newspapers in the United States to use cartoons. It also began to develop a large staff of photographers. The paper was a major user of the Associated Press wirephoto service in the 1930s. It was also the model for the tabloid depicted in the 1994 film, “The Paper.” It also counted Clark Kent and Lois Lane among its reporters.
