New York City, New York
The Daily News is one of the oldest and best known American tabloid newspapers. Founded in 1919, it was the first daily printed in tabloid format in the United States and reached its peak circulation of 2.4 million copies in 1947. The Daily News focuses on New York City news, celebrity gossip, classified ads, comics, and sports. The paper has long maintained a reputation for aggressive reporting and is known for its unflinching stance on issues of public interest.
In the early 1990s, the newspaper gained a national reputation for its aggressive legal actions to protect First Amendment rights. For example, the News forced courts to unseal records in eight pending death penalty cases and strengthened public access to family court records. The newspaper has also earned a reputation for its commitment to local news, earning one of the New York Society of Professional Journalists’ highest awards, the John Peter Zenger Freedom of the Press award.
In 1992 Mortimer Zuckerman purchased the Daily News from the Tribune Company, beating out Canadian newspaper mogul Conrad Black’s bid. He negotiated contracts with nine of the ten unions, but failed to reach agreement with the New York Typographical Guild which was demanding lifetime job guarantees for 167 printers. Martin Dunn replaced editor-in-chief James Willse, and the Daily News was repositioned as a more serious tabloid closer in tone to New York Newsday than to its rival, the New York Post.
