Daily News is a tabloid newspaper in New York City. Founded in 1919, it considers itself “New York’s Hometown Newspaper,” informing everyday New Yorkers about their city and more. The paper is known for zesty headlines (perhaps most famously, “Ford to City: Drop Dead” during the city’s financial woes in 1975) and star columnists like Jimmy Breslin and Pete Hamill. It also offers intense city news coverage, celebrity gossip, classified ads and comics.
In recent years, the Daily News has faced many of the same challenges that have plagued other newspapers as readers and ad dollars shift online. In addition, it has struggled to compete with a muscular hometown rival, the News Corp-owned New York Post. Nevertheless, the paper continues to produce outstanding journalism, winning this year’s Pulitzer Prize for Public Service reporting for its expose on how New York City authorities used an obscure law to forcibly evict hundreds of tenants.
