The Daily News is an American tabloid newspaper based in New York City. Its primary focus is local news, but it also covers national and international events. The paper includes intense city news coverage, celebrity gossip, classified ads, comics, and a sports section. In addition, the Daily News has a strong opinion page and often uses controversial headlines. The paper was the first in the United States to be printed in tabloid format, and it is known for its distinctive and colorful graphics.
The paper has won many awards for its journalism, and its stories have had a significant impact on the cultural, political, and social life of the city of New York. However, the paper has struggled financially due to declining print circulation and a shift in advertising dollars. In addition, the Daily News has had to contend with a powerful hometown rival, the New York Post. In 2015, the News’ owner, Mort Zuckerman, attempted to sell the newspaper but later pulled it off the market.
In the 1920s, the Daily News was one of the most widely read newspapers in the United States, and its readers sought out sensational news items such as political wrongdoing and scandals. In particular, the newspaper highlighted political corruption such as that of the Teapot Dome Scandal and social intrigue such as the romance between Wallis Simpson and King Edward VIII. In the same period, the Daily News was a pioneer in the use of photography, becoming one of the first major papers to use the Associated Press wirephoto service and developing its own staff of photographers.

The Daily News Sentiment Index is a high-frequency measure of economic sentiment derived from lexical analysis of economics-related news articles. It is designed to complement the Daily News Economic Letter, which provides a regular analysis of economics-related sentiment data. The index is constructed as a trailing weighted-average time series of individual article scores, and it is updated at weekly frequency. For more information on the index, see Buckman, Shapiro, Sudhof, and Wilson (2020). For a detailed description of the methodology, please refer to that paper.
