The daily news is a publication that reports current events and information of interest to the public. It is typically published every day and may cover a range of topics, from politics to celebrity gossip. The daily news is often a major source of news and information for the general population, particularly in large urban areas. The daily news is also known for its sensational coverage of crime and violence, and for its lurid photographs. In addition to its daily newspaper, the daily news publishes a number of weekly and monthly supplements.
Founded in 1919 by Joseph Medill Patterson, the New York Daily News was the first tabloid in the United States and once had the largest circulation of any American daily. The paper attracted readers with sensational stories of crime and scandal, lurid pictures, and cartoons. In 1947 its circulation reached a peak of 2.4 million copies daily and 4 million on Sunday.
By the 1980s the paper had lost its early prominence, having fallen far behind the more sensational rival tabloid New York Post. The Daily News began to shift its stance, and became moderately liberal, providing an alternative to the conservative Post.
In the early years of the 20th century the paper championed the cause of the British Empire against the alleged threat posed by the “Yellow Peril.” The paper was a critic of the Liberal government’s pusillanimous response to the Tirpitz plan, as well as to Germany’s naval build-up in the Anglo-German naval race.
