Daily News is a newspaper with headquarters in New York City. It covers local, national and international news. Its main sections are politics and government, business and finance, crime and law enforcement, weather and natural disasters, science and medicine, computer technology, sports, and entertainment. The paper is also known for its comics and editorials.
It has been a leader in reporting on the effects of 9/11, and it has reported extensively on Hurricane Katrina and other natural disasters. The newspaper’s editorial page takes a liberal stand on social issues, and it has been critical of the Bush administration. The newspaper’s history includes a period of expansion in the 1920s and 1930s, when it was one of the largest and most successful newspapers in the United States. Its reporters found abundant subject matter, including political wrongdoing such as the Teapot Dome scandal and the romance between Wallis Simpson and King Edward VIII that led to his abdication. The newspaper also devoted a great deal of attention to photography and was an early user of the Associated Press wirephoto service.
In the 21st century, newspapers have struggled to survive as readers and advertisers have shifted to online news sources. The decline of print advertising revenue and circulation has been especially difficult for newspaper chains, which have not always been able to compensate for the loss of traditional revenues. The daily newspaper has been a particular victim of this trend, and its circulation has fallen sharply in recent years.
A daily newspaper is a periodical publication issued each day or nearly every day, and it typically contains a variety of articles and information in addition to advertising and promotional material. Most daily newspapers have a local, regional or national scope and provide coverage of events and topics from around the world. A smaller number of newspapers have a specialized focus, such as business news, or serve communities with specific interests, such as ethnic groups, religious believers, or fans of certain sports teams.
Many daily newspapers have a dedicated website, in addition to their printed editions. These websites are often updated more frequently than their printed counterparts, and may include video clips, interactive maps and other features not available in the print version. A daily newspaper’s site usually requires a subscription to access its full content. In 2022, estimated daily newspaper circulation in the United States was 20.9 million for weekday and Sunday print editions combined, down 8% and 10% respectively from the previous year.
