Daily news refers to the information that is printed on a newspaper and distributed to its readers. It may be a full or partial list of events that occurred that day or a detailed report on previous events. It is often a combination of political, economic and social news. It also includes local and entertainment news.
The New York Daily News is an American newspaper founded in 1919. Initially named the Illustrated Daily News, it was the first U.S. daily newspaper printed in tabloid format. It grew into one of the nation’s largest newspapers, with peak circulation in 1947.
It is a tabloid that has a storied history of sensational and outraged coverage, especially with crime. The paper has been at the forefront of investigative journalism and is famous for its lurid photographs, cartoons and other entertainment features. It is also known for its investigative work in such scandals as the Teapot Dome Scandal and in the romance between Wallis Simpson and King Edward VIII that led to the king’s abdication.
The Daily News is also well-known for its editorial stance, which has been described as “flexibly centrist” and having a “high-minded, if populist legacy.” It was strongly pro-war in World War II, and during the Cold War it was opposed to nuclear disarmament. It shifted its position on these issues in the 1970s, and by the 1980s had become more of a liberal alternative to its rival, the Post.
In 1948 the Daily News established a television station, WPIX (Channel 11 in New York City), whose call letters were based on its nickname, and purchased what is now CBS Radio’s WFAN-FM. Both stations are located in the News Building, which was designed by John Mead Howells and Raymond Hood.
The Daily News is a part of the Tronc family of media outlets. Its website features a large number of blogs and forums, and the newspaper itself is available in print form and as an E-dition. The E-dition is a digital replica of the print edition, offering an enhanced reading experience on tablets and smartphones. It is free to use, and can be downloaded on a variety of devices. The Daily News is headquartered in New York City. Its publisher is Mortimer Zuckerman. Its current editor-in-chief is Richard Johnson, who was previously the editor of The New York Times. In addition to the Daily News, the company publishes several other newspapers, including the Boston Globe and Los Angeles Times.
