The story behind
the New York Daily Post
Rich and just basically brimming with
culture and history, New York CIty
actually has a million or more stories
to tell about its decadent past and how
things around this cosmopolitan city all
came to be. Considered to be as one of
the United States' biggest newspapers,
whose circulation is actually well more
over 700,000 copies.
The New York Daily News, a newspaper
printed using a tabloid format has
actually started its newspaper journey
way back in the year 1919. Mortimer
Zuckerman was actually the founder of
the New York Daily News while also
having the catch phrase, "New York's
Picture Newspaper" (which has over the
years, was changed to "New York's
Hometown Newspaper"). Still, in spite of
the various changes, the New York Daily
News has continued on printing their
tabloid format newspaper still with a
lot of photographs. Of course, the whole
point of being a newspaper just simply
means that the New York Daily News also
contains lots of news (obviously, it's
not called New York Daily NEWS for
nothing).
Gossip about celebrities and other
famous people also abound in the New
York Daily News Page 6 columns, it is
where people often turn to just to read
about the hottest, freshest and juiciest
gossips about the who's-who in the
industry. As like with other newspapers,
the New York Daily News also contain a
classified ads section, a popular comics
section as well as an equally well-read
sports section and an opinion section.
New York Daily News really packs in the
punch with its varied features and
scopes of interest. Here's a fun fact
about the New York Daily News: Bill
Gallo is actually the much celebrated
sports cartoonist of the New York Daily
News.
The New York Daily News was actually
founded by Joseph Medill Patterson who's
family were actually the publishers of
The Chicago Tribune, the New York Daily
News has also been able to establish
WPIX-TV and WPIX-FM. During the whole
history of the New York Daily News,
there was actually a time, during the
early part of the 1990s that the New
York Daily News almost went to
bankruptcy. Fortunately for the New York
Daily News however, was the financial
assistance that was brought about by
Robert Maxwell, a millionaire who
offered to help the New York Daily News
stay in the media business. However, due
to Robert Maxwell's death, his company
didn't any more felt the need to
continue on publishing the New York
Daily News.When it comes to their
opinions section however, the New York
Daily News try to set its self apart
from its various competitors. The
well-respected New York Times have
actually set very liberal standards for
their newspaper's opinions column, while
fellow tabloid, the New York Post
differs from the New York Daily News'
opinions pages by being a staunch
rightist.
However, the New York Daily News has
actually been able to acquire ten
Pulitzer prizes since it was first
established but due to its fierce
competition with fellow tabloid, the New
York Post, the New York Daily News has
actually resorted to some sensationalism
as a counter-tactic against the New York
Post wherein the New York Daily News has
been touted as the newspaper with the
most creative headlines and captions for
its photos in all of journalism.
