A daily news report is a newspaper article covering current events. Often, this type of report covers stories that are of particular interest to the public at large, such as major political happenings or celebrity gossip. It also often contains editorial opinions. In order to be effective at analyzing a daily news report, it is important that learners develop the ability to separate their emotional responses from their analytical efforts. This can help to ensure that they have a clear, objective viewpoint of the articles they are analyzing for class assignments.

The New York Daily News is an American newspaper founded in 1919 as the Illustrated Daily News and printed in tabloid format. At the peak of its circulation in 1947, it was one of the most widely read newspapers in the United States. Its circulation has since declined substantially. The newspaper is currently owned by Tronc, which purchased the paper from its copublisher, Mortimer B. Zuckerman, in 2017.

The News was a pioneer of tabloid journalism and has long been a leading source of sensational news, such as the story of Ruth Snyder’s execution, which was reported in 1975 with the scream headline “Ford to City: Drop Dead!” The News is known for its extensive use of photography. It was an early adopter of the Associated Press wire photo service in the 1930s, and developed its own staff of photographers. From 1929 to 1995, the News was based in 220 East 42nd Street, an official city and national landmark designed by John Mead Howells and Raymond Hood that served as the model for the Daily Planet building of the first two Superman films. Its former television subsidiary, WPIX, remains in the News Building.
