A daily news is a publication that is printed every day. It covers current events that are of interest to the general public and can include politics, business, sports, and entertainment. Some examples of daily newspapers are The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal. Daily newspapers can be found online as well.
A weekly newspaper is a periodical that is published on a less regular schedule than a daily newspaper. It may be published once a week, twice a month, or monthly. Weekly newspapers often cover local news and events, as well as feature articles. They also typically contain classified advertising and a comics section.
Like a daily newspaper, a weekly publication may have a news editor and a number of staff reporters. The size of the news staff varies depending on the size of the paper and its circulation area. Many smaller weekly newspapers have several staff members, with each reporter assigned a beat (such as schools, city government, crime, or business). The weekly newspaper may also have one or more photographers.
In addition to the main story sections, a weekly newspaper may have other sections such as the obituary section, sports, celebrity gossip, or classified ads. It is also common for weekly newspapers to have a family news page where announcements of births, engagements, marriages, landmark birthdays and anniversaries are listed. A weekly newspaper may also have a special event section, where information about upcoming local festivals and fairs are listed.
The Yale Daily News Historical Archive is a collection of more than 140 years of issues of the Yale Daily News, the oldest college newspaper in the United States. The archive is open to the public and consists of digital versions of the original printed newspaper. The digitized editions are fully searchable and can be accessed using a web interface. The Archive is maintained by the Yale University Library.
In the 20th century, the Daily News was at its height of success. Despite being locked in a fierce battle for circulation with its even more sensational rival tabloid, the New York Post, it remained one of the country’s top selling newspapers. The Daily News was founded in 1878, and was published each day during the time that Yale University was in session. Many of the paper’s editors, writers, and contributors have gone on to have significant careers in both journalism and public service.
The Daily News was originally housed in the landmark building at 220 East 42nd Street on Manhattan’s Third Avenue. Designed by architect John Mead Howells and Raymond Hood, the Daily News Building was known for its giant globe and weather instruments in the lobby. In the mid-1990s, the newspaper moved to 450 West 33rd Street, which was then known as 5 Manhattan West. In 2017, the newspaper was purchased by Tronc, a media company. As of 2024, the Daily News is still published in New York City and is owned by Mortimer Zuckerman.
