Daily news is a newspaper or other publication that contains current events and information about politics, economics, society, science and technology, and other topics of general interest. A daily newspaper may also contain comics and sports. A daily news publication is usually printed on paper, but it can be published in other media such as the internet or television.
A daily newspaper often has a staff of reporters and other writers. It may also have an editorial board and a business manager. It can also have a circulation manager who keeps track of the number of people who subscribe to the newspaper.
In addition to reporting on the latest national and international news, daily newspapers often feature local stories, including New York City exclusives, sports, gossip, and other entertainment. In the past, some dailies were known for their political scandals and social intrigue, such as the Teapot Dome Scandal and the romance between Wallis Simpson and King Edward VIII. Today, many papers focus on breaking news and delivering high-quality journalism.
The Daily News is a New York-based daily newspaper founded in 1875. In its heyday, the News was one of the most popular and influential American newspapers. Its editorial writers, columnists and opinion formers wrote about politics, crime, the arts, the economy, sports, celebrity and fashion. The News was renowned for its photographic coverage, and it was an early adopter of the Associated Press wirephoto service. Its sportswriters were particularly adept at covering the Yankees, Mets, Giants and Jets, and the paper was also a major player in New York City politics.
Most weekly newspapers follow a similar format to daily papers, but they have a narrower scope and usually cover only one region or area. They often have full-time staff writers, editors and photographers. Many of them also hire freelancers (also called stringers) who are paid on a per-story basis.
Weekly publications may also have a section called “family news” or “community news.” This is where they publish announcements of marriages, births and deaths in the community. They may also publish obituaries of prominent citizens or other notable persons.
