History
The New York Daily News, officially titled Daily News, is an American newspaper based in New York City. As of May 2016, it was the ninth-most widely circulated daily newspaper in the United States. However, it has since dropped out of the top 10. Founded in 1919 they are the first U.S. daily printed in tabloid format. The editor was Jim Rich until July 23, 2018, when it was announced he was being let go along with 50% of the editorial staff. The paper owner, Tronc, replaced Jim Rich with Robert York, who is currently the editor and publisher of The Morning Call, a Tronc-owned daily newspaper in Allentown, Pa.
