Daily News is a tabloid newspaper that reports on local, national, and international news. Its main features include large photographs, celebrity and entertainment gossip, classified ads, sports coverage, and an opinion section. Its main competitor is the New York Post.
The newspaper was founded in 1919 as the Illustrated Daily News (later Daily News) and is not related to the New York Daily News of the 19th century, which closed down in 1906. At its peak circulation in 1947, the newspaper reached 2.4 million copies per day. Today the paper has a readership of over 3 million.
In 1948, the News established a television station, WPIX, whose call letters were based on its nickname as “New York’s Picture Newspaper.” The building that housed the original News headquarters (220 East 42nd Street), an official city and national landmark designed by John Mead Howells and Raymond Hood, later served as the set for the first two Superman films. The News relocated to 450 West 33rd Street, also known as 5 Manhattan West, in 1995.
The Yale Daily News is a student-run news organization in the heart of New Haven, CT. The newspaper is published Monday through Friday during the academic year and is a major source of information for students at Yale University. The News also publishes the Friday supplement, WEEKEND, and several special issues each year in collaboration with Yale’s Black, AAPI, and Latinx communities.
