Daily News is a tabloid newspaper founded in 1919 in New York City. The Daily News is the ninth largest daily newspaper in the United States with a circulation of about 200,000 copies. The News has a strong record for Factual reporting but also has a fairly firm left-center editorial bias. In addition to its main news section, the News also has sections devoted to sports and the arts. It is currently owned by tronc, the publishing operations of the Tribune Company, and is headquartered in the former Daily News Building on West 42nd Street in Manhattan.

Each Daily News article contains comprehension and critical thinking questions found under “Background” and “Resources.” These help students analyze the news story and develop a deeper understanding of the issue. A teacher version of Daily News is available that provides these tools and other resources for teachers to use with their classes.

Among the best known of the American dailies, the New York Daily News is notable as being the first to print in tabloid format. During its peak in the 1920s, it was one of the nation’s top-selling newspapers and was locked in a circulation battle with its even more sensational rival, the New York Post. Like other popular dailies of the time, it emphasized political wrongdoing such as the Teapot Dome scandal and social intrigue such as the romance between Wallis Simpson and King Edward VIII that led to the latter’s abdication. It was an early adopter of the Associated Press wire photo service and developed a large staff of photographers.

In recent years the paper has suffered from declining sales and a loss of advertising revenue to its competitors, mainly the larger-circulation and better-established New York Times. However, it remains the largest newspaper in the metropolitan area and has a dedicated readership base that supports a quality product.

Weekly newspapers, often referred to as weeklies in the United States, are general interest papers that come out on a weekly basis. Most follow a similar format to their daily counterparts with news, sports, and obituaries being the major focus of coverage. They may also have a community or neighborhood news section and a police blotter. Like the larger daily newspapers, most weekly publications are paginated (or laid out) with computer software.

The News has also been a major owner of local television in the past. It established WPIX in 1948 and later bought what became WFAN-FM, which still broadcasts out of the former Daily News Building. The building is an official city and national landmark designed by John Mead Howells and Raymond Hood. In 1995 the News moved to a new location on 450 West 33rd Street. The 42nd Street building, however, served as the model for the Daily Planet building in the first two Superman movies. The newspaper has a number of foreign correspondents, including an office in the Middle East. It has also published magazines on a variety of topics.
