Daily news is information about current events, especially those that are of interest to a newspaper’s audience. It may be conveyed in a wide variety of ways, including word of mouth, printing, postal systems, broadcasting and electronic communication. News reports often contain a variety of factual information and opinion, as well as speculation, rumours and conjecture. Common topics of news stories include war, government, politics, education, health, the environment, business, fashion, entertainment and sports. Government proclamations concerning royal ceremonies, laws, taxes and public health are also considered newsworthy by some.
Since its founding in 1919, the New York Daily News (known locally as The Daily News) has been one of the largest and most widely circulated newspapers in the United States. It was the first American daily printed in tabloid format. In addition to its extensive city news coverage, the News has a strong section dedicated to celebrity gossip, a comics page, classified ads and a sports section. The News maintains a strong presence at City Hall and within One Police Plaza, as well as its own bureaus in the Bronx, Brooklyn, and Queens. The News is based in a former newspaper building at 220 East 42nd Street, which is an official city and national landmark designed by John Mead Howells and Raymond Hood. The former News subsidiary WPIX-TV remains in the building, which is now known as Manhattan West.
