The Daily News, founded in 1919 as the Illustrated Daily News, was a tabloid newspaper that reached its peak circulation of 2.4 million copies a day. Its large and prominent photographs, news and sports coverage, celebrity gossip and classified ads made it one of the most popular newspapers in America at the start of the 20th century.
The News emphasized political wrongdoing and social intrigue in its early years, such as the Teapot Dome Scandal and Wallis Simpson’s romance with King Edward VIII. It also featured lurid photographs of the city’s crime and violence.
Throughout the 20th century, the paper espoused a conservative, populist stance. During the 1940s, it remained closely aligned with the Republican Party, a position it maintained until its demise in 2016. The newspaper’s editorial stance changed over time, and became moderately liberal during the 1990s.
While the New York Daily News was once one of the nation’s largest-selling newspapers, its circulation has been declining since the 1970s. In 2017, the company was sold to Tronc, a Chicago-based media company.
