The New York Daily News is a morning daily newspaper founded in 1919 as the Illustrated Daily News by Joseph Medill Patterson and acquired by the Tribune Company. The Daily News was the first daily newspaper in the United States to be printed in tabloid format and attracted readers by a mix of sensational coverage of crime, scandal, and violent events, lurid photographs, and entertaining cartoons and other entertainment features. By the 1930s it was the most successful tabloid in the country, with a circulation that exceeded 2,000,000. In recent years, the newspaper has been repositioned as more centrist, though it retains a reputation for sexism and other controversial coverage. The Daily News competes with the more-sensational New York Post and is viewed as one of the nation’s leading tabloid newspapers. The newspaper is based in the historic News Building, at 220 East 42nd Street near Second Avenue, designed by John Mead Howells and Raymond Hood.
