The Daily News is a morning daily tabloid newspaper published in New York City. It is a highly popular, independent newspaper. It offers intense city news coverage, sports, opinion formers, and prominent photographs. Featuring award-winning writers, it is one of the most popular newspapers in the country.

The Daily News was founded in 1919. In the 1920s, the newspaper devoted much of its attention to photography. With lurid images of celebrities, politics, and crime, it became the first successful tabloid in the United States. By 1947, circulation was at its peak, reaching 2.4 million copies a day.

In the 1960s, the Daily News espoused a conservative populism. For five decades, it was a staunchly Republican newspaper. However, by the 1970s, it began shifting. After several months, the name of the newspaper changed to the Daily News.

While the paper’s editorial stance was still conservative, it gained a reputation as a moderate liberal alternative to the right-wing Post. It also won 11 Pulitzer Prizes for commentary, feature writing, and photography. Although it has experienced financial problems for many years, the Daily News has maintained a strong focus on local reporting and continues to offer an extensive coverage of life in New York City.

Today, the newspaper is owned by Tribune Publishing, which bought it in 1993. The newspaper is now available as a digital replica. It features an interactive edition that allows users to swipe between pages and share stories through email. Users can even download issues for offline reading. This makes the Daily News particularly popular with readers who find it difficult to read print newspapers.

Since its founding, the newspaper has been home to some of the most famous journalists in the world. For example, the Daily News had a large team of foreign correspondents. Many of the people who worked there, such as Frank Knox, went on to become the secretary of the navy under Franklin D. Roosevelt.

The paper also has a number of popular cartoons. Some of the most famous ones include “It’s a great day for a picnic!” and “Wild West: The Wild Ride of an American Assassin.” As part of its mission to chronicle life in New York City, the Daily News has won the Pulitzer Prize for Public Service.

Despite its failures, the Daily News has survived, surviving as one of the top-selling newspapers in the United States. As with any newspaper, it has also experienced a drop in circulation over the years. But it has continued to thrive when it digs into corruption and crime.

In 2017, the Daily News won the Pulitzer Prize for Public Service. Andrew Conte, who wrote the book, has extensive experience covering local and national news. He has reported for POLITICO, the Associated Press, CNN, and the New York Times.

One of the most interesting sections of the book explores the impact of losing the newspaper on a town. The authors examine the ways that communities are affected by the news deserts that have developed in America. They also discuss how the Daily News tried to build a new kind of local journalism.
