Founded in 1919, the New York Daily News was the first tabloid-style newspaper to attract a large national audience. It was published daily at a time when many other newspapers were reducing publication days, or even ceasing altogether. The newspaper competed with its sister paper, the New York Post, for the attention of readers. In the 1940s, its circulation topped 1.5 million.
In the 1960s and 1970s, the Daily News developed a reputation for protecting the rights of people in New York City who were perceived as having no voice. It was one of the earliest to use the Associated Press wire photo service and grew its staff to be among the largest in the world. It was also an early adopter of computerized publishing systems and the first metropolitan newspaper to use color printing.
The Daily News was owned by a variety of corporations and individuals over the years. By 1993, it was owned by media mogul Mortimer Zuckerman, who invested $60 million in modernizing the paper and repositioned it as a serious tabloid with an aggressive political agenda. The Daily News became profitable by 1994 and, in 1995, moved to the iconic News Building at 220 East 42nd Street. The building was designed by Raymond Hood and John Mead Howells, and later served as the model for the Daily Planet building in the Superman films.
By 2017, however, the Daily News was struggling to maintain its high profile and circulation numbers continued to decline. In September, the newspaper was sold to Tronc, a Chicago-based media company, for $1. Tronc embarked on a firing spree and axed half of the editorial staff, leaving the paper with 45 editors — a far cry from the 400 employees plying their trade in the News Building in the late 1980s.
