The daily news is a newspaper that provides in-depth coverage of events and issues that take place in the world. It also includes opinion pieces and editorials that offer different perspectives on the news. The daily news is available in print and online and can be found in many countries around the world.
In the United States, one of the highest-circulation newspapers is the New York Daily News. Founded in 1919 as the Illustrated Daily News by Joseph Medill Patterson, the newspaper quickly became known for sensational coverage of crime and scandal, lurid photographs, and cartoons and other entertainment features. Its headquarters was at 450 West 33rd Street in Manhattan, a large building that straddled the railroad tracks leading into Pennsylvania Station.
From the 1940s through the 1960s, the Daily News espoused a populism that was further right than National Review and bound its readers into a community of anti-elitism and white working-class identity. This populism was rooted in a sense of entitlement, as well as in resentment toward nonwhites and the perceived corruption of long-established elites.
These views often were incendiary, such as a 1965 front-page story on a lynching that proclaimed the victim was “a good and deserving man.” Other letters, however, were more ambivalent, expressing a wariness or resentment of blacks. One argued that the government should not earmark jobs for blacks unless there were equally valuable positions earmarked for whites. Another criticized a city initiative to promote mixed-income housing by suggesting, sarcastically, that New York should move impoverished Negro and Puerto Rican clans into Fifth Avenue luxury apartments with the Rockefellers and other gilt-edged liberals.
