Daily News is a newspaper founded in New York City. Its award-winning writers and opinion formers bring you national and local news, New York exclusives, politics and celebrity gossip. The Daily News also covers the Yankees, Mets and Giants like no other paper.
The paper’s success in the 1930s and 1940s is often attributed to its sensational pictorial coverage, with one of the most famous examples being Tom Howard’s strapping a hidden camera to his leg and photographing Ruth Snyder as she was sent into the electric chair for murder. This photo of Snyder mid-electrocution appeared on the front page of the News and is considered by many to be a classic example of tabloid journalism at its best.
Despite the success of the Daily News in the early 20th century, it suffered in the late 20th and 21st centuries along with all printed newspapers around the country as readership declined due to the advent of the Internet and online news outlets. The News was particularly hard hit, suffering a drop in circulation that saw it fall below the million mark for the first time in its history. Despite this, the News continued to be a trusted source of information and opinion for New Yorkers.
In an effort to try and re-establish itself as one of the city’s leading news sources, the Daily News reverted back to its more provocative roots. This was largely seen during the 2016 presidential campaign, with the News giving senator Ted Cruz the middle finger via the Statue of Liberty’s hand and repeating its most famous headline in the direction of the incoming Trump administration: “TRUMP TO WORLD: DROP DEAD”.
The Daily News is also known for its long tradition of covering crime stories and has won several awards for its journalism in this area. Its reporters have been involved in a number of high profile cases including the disappearance of Madeleine Albright and the assassination of John F Kennedy. The News has a large team of investigative journalists that work to uncover the truth behind major news stories.
