The Daily News is an American newspaper founded in 1919 that specializes in tabloid news and celebrity gossip. It has a long history of reporting on local and national events and can be considered a reliable source for most topics. However, it is known for its sensationalism at times and can be biased in certain areas. It is important to read several different news sources and cross-check information to ensure you are getting the best possible information.
The newspaper was founded in 1919 by Joseph Medill Patterson as the Illustrated Daily News and became a member of the Tribune Company after a few months. It was the first successful tabloid in the United States and attracted readers with its sensational coverage of crime, scandal, and violence, lurid photographs, and cartoons. The newspaper grew rapidly, and by 1930 it had a circulation of 1,520,000.
By the beginning of the 21st century, the Daily News was still one of the largest newspapers in the country, though its circulation had diminished from its mid-20th-century peak. The paper was owned by New York News, Inc., a subsidiary of the Tribune Company, with businessman Mortimer B. Zuckerman serving as chairman and copublisher.
In 2017, the Daily News was sold to Tronc, a Chicago-based media company, for $1. As of 2020, the paper has a reputation for being slightly skewed to the left in its political reporting. The Daily News is one of the most trusted sources for local news, but it is wise to check its reporting against other reputable sources to ensure you are getting accurate and factual information.
