The Daily News

The daily news, a newspaper that carries current events and opinion articles, is an essential part of many people’s lives. These papers are often written by professional journalists who strive to present accurate and unbiased information. These publications may also include political analysis and commentary, sports reports, weather updates, celebrity gossip, and local news. Some are distributed through the mail while others can be read on the internet or at the newspaper’s website. Some of these newspapers have been around for decades.

The New York Daily News was the first successful tabloid newspaper in the United States, founded in 1919 as the Illustrated Daily News by Joseph Medill Patterson. In the 1920s it gained widespread popularity with sensational coverage of crime, scandal and violence, lurid photographs, and other entertainment features.

In the mid-20th century the Daily News was locked in a circulation battle with its even more sensational rival tabloid, the New York Post. By the time of the 1975 screamer headline, “Ford to City: Drop Dead,” the News was still one of the most widely read newspapers in the country. At that time the paper was owned by businessman Mortimer B. Zuckerman, who also owned WPIX-TV (channel 11, now known as Manhattan West). The original home of the Daily News was a 220 East 42nd Street building designed by John Mead Howells and Raymond Hood, which became an official city and national landmark. The building was later replaced by a new headquarters at 450 West 33rd Street, which straddles the railroad tracks into Pennsylvania Station.

The Yale Daily News, the nation’s oldest college daily newspaper, is editorially independent and serves students at Yale University in New Haven, Connecticut. The News publishes Monday through Friday during the academic year, plus a Friday supplement called the Weekend and special issues such as the Yale-Harvard game day issue and the Commencement issue. The News is committed to a mission of excellence in journalism and seeks to engage the public through diverse storytelling, community outreach and innovative educational initiatives.
