The Daily News App

The Daily News is a morning tabloid newspaper founded in 1919 by Joseph Medill Patterson in New York City as the Illustrated Daily News. The paper was the first major tabloid newspaper in the United States, and at its height in 1947 had a circulation of over 2.4 million. The News attracted readers with sensational coverage of crime, scandal and violence, lurid photographs, cartoons and other entertainment features. It was long locked in a circulation battle with the even more sensational rival tabloid, the New York Post, but by the 21st century retained its reputation as one of the top-selling newspapers in the nation, albeit with a circulation much diminished from its mid-20th century peak.

The News is an editorially independent newspaper and operates the oldest college daily newspaper in the country, Yale Daily News. The News provides comprehensive and in-depth journalism on campus, regionally and globally through print and digital platforms. It also publishes special issues each year, including the Yale-Harvard game day issue and the Commencement issue. It works with Yale’s student groups and cultural centers to create editions celebrating Indigenous, Black, Latino and Asian American communities.

Each Daily News article includes “Background” and “Resources” sections, as well as comprehension and critical thinking questions. In addition, each article is followed by the Editor’s Note and the full Editorial Board’s opinion piece.

The newspaper’s staff of award-winning writers, columnists and opinion formers brings you the latest national and local news from New York City and beyond. Daily News editors provide you with live coverage of New York City and the world as it happens, as well as local sports, politics, celebrity gossip, a strong comics section and more. No one covers the Yankees, Mets, Giants and Jets like the Daily News!
