Founded in 1919, the New York Daily News is an American tabloid newspaper with a history of being first-to-market with many innovations. It has a strong focus on New York City news and is known for its hard-hitting journalism. The paper currently has a large circulation and is owned by Tronc, a media company that owns several major U.S. newspapers.
The Daily News has an intense news coverage of the city, celebrity gossip, classified ads, comics and a sports section. It is one of the most read newspapers in the United States. It is the only major New York City newspaper with a dedicated photography department and maintains several news bureaus in each of the five boroughs. It also has a presence in City Hall, within One Police Plaza and at the various state and federal courthouses in the city.
Several sections comprise the newspaper including an editorial page written by the editor of the Daily News or members of its editorial board, opinion articles called “op-eds” and columns that express the personal opinions of columnists. Photographers and graphic artists provide illustrations to support the news stories. Journalists usually specialize in a certain subject area, often being referred to as a beat, and are assigned specific topics to cover. Editors and publishers oversee the publication and its content. Printers physically produce the printed version of the newspaper.
In addition to the main newspaper, the Daily News has several special editions each year such as the Yale-Harvard game issue and a commemorative issue of the start of the school year. It is the oldest college daily in the United States and is financially and editorially independent of the university.
The Daily News has a slight to moderate liberal bias. The paper uses sensational headlines and loaded words (wording that attempts to influence the reader by appealing to emotion or stereotypes) to favor liberal causes. The paper is known for its city-centered crime reporting and its emphasis on investigative journalism. Its overall bias and reliability score according to Ad Fontes Media is Skewed Left and Reliable, Analysis/Fact Reporting. The Daily News has been the target of attacks by various groups since its sale to a hedge fund, Alden Global Capital LLC, in 2017. The hedge fund has enacted buyouts and cuts to the staff. The Daily News is attempting to fight back against the hedge fund in a series of legal battles. It has faced boycotts, rallies and written appeals from its readers and workers. It has lost some subscribers but is still profitable.
