Daily News
A newspaper that publishes articles on a daily basis. Daily newspapers usually cover local and national news events and also often feature editorial content. In the United States, daily newspapers are most often seen in cities. They may focus on politics, sports, business, and other local news. Many of these papers include comics, a section for classified ads, and a section dedicated to sports. They may have sections dedicated to entertainment, science, and the arts as well.
The New York Daily News is an American morning tabloid founded in 1919. It is the first newspaper in the United States to be printed in a tabloid format and had its peak circulation during the 1940s. The newspaper attracted readers by publishing sensational stories of crime, scandal, and violence, lurid photographs, and comics. The Daily News was an early adopter of wirephotos and had a large staff of photographers. It is still one of the largest-circulation newspapers in the United States, although its circulation has declined from its mid-20th century heyday.
The Daily News is published in the city of Brooklyn, New York City and distributed throughout the metropolitan area. It has a large online presence and a mobile application that offers breaking news alerts and other features. The paper is a subsidiary of the Tronc Inc. media company and is currently owned by Mortimer B. Zuckerman.
