The Daily News is one of the largest and most popular newspapers in the world. Its mission is to cover the city of New York, including the five boroughs and Queens. Aside from its strong news coverage, it features a sports section and an opinion section. It also has an interactive edition that is accessible on computers and mobile devices. You can swipe between pages to get more information, and share stories with friends through email. In addition, you can download an edition for offline reading.
The Daily News started out as the Illustrated Daily News in 1919. At that time, the newspaper was owned by the Tribune Company of Chicago. Soon afterward, it began printing Sunday papers. By the 1930s, it was the country’s first successful tabloid newspaper. After a few months, it became the Daily News. Today, it is owned by Tronc, a Chicago-based media company. While the paper’s circulation has declined, it remains a top-selling daily, with a print and electronic readership of over 200,000. Besides its news, it also provides a variety of comics, celebrity gossip, and entertainment.
The Daily News’s circulation was once the largest in the U.S., with a peak at 2.4 million copies per day. For many years, it was a staunchly conservative, right-wing newspaper. However, it later changed its stance, becoming more moderate. As a result, it won 11 Pulitzer Prizes.
During the 1970s, the paper began transforming, moving away from its conservative stance to become more liberal and less dependent on political polarization. As a result, it lost its once-stronghold on the local news market. But, with a bit of perseverance, it managed to survive. With a soaring circulation, it was even named “New York’s Picture Newspaper” in the 1980s.
Now, it’s struggling to survive in an increasingly bleak media environment. Its once-massive staff of reporters and photographers are down to a handful of people. What’s more, it’s losing its ability to hold the attention of the entire city in one headline. This is a problem that has grown throughout America. And, as a consequence, citizens are seeking out their own local news in dreary places. If the paper were to disappear, citizens would need to learn how to find out what’s happening in their towns.
Author Andrew Conte’s Death of the Daily News explores the impact of losing a local paper on a town. He does so by detailing the stages of grief that occur in communities that lose their local newspaper. Through his empathetic storytelling, he argues that local journalism is critical, and that it is possible to rebuild a new kind of local newspaper.
The book is a rich and informative read, filled with interesting details about the local paper, and a great look at how a town can go through the trauma of losing its local paper. It’s a must-read for anyone who has been touched by the loss of a community’s local newspaper. Even if you’re not in a position to read it yourself, it’s an informative and fascinating look at how a town can thrive after a local paper dies.
