Daily News is the flagship publication of Independent Media, one of South Africa’s leading multi-platform content companies. It’s tailor-made for the time challenged, rush hour reader who wants accessible news conveniently packaged for consumption on a range of popular platforms. It’s bold in its presentation and ruthless with costs to ensure its independence, bringing quality journalism to the masses.
It has a reputation for sensationalism at times, especially in its headlines and certain coverage areas. But it also has a solid track record for breaking significant stories that would otherwise have gone unnoticed. The newspaper’s mission is to get the truth out, to uncover the unscrupulous, to put those who do wrong in their place. It has a staff of a thousand (yes, that many) determined to do whatever it takes to discover the real story, and bring that story to its readers.
As a daily, it covers local and national news. Its “FYI: Today is” feature provides tidbits and lists that have a local angle but are of national interest. It also includes a weekly crossword. The FL index goes back to 1986.
Tribune Publishing’s newspapers including the New York Daily News and Chicago Tribune are being pushed by cost-slashing hedge fund Alden Global Capital into a more rapid pace of change. Those changes are creating a deep case of the jitters in newsrooms like the Daily News.
The 102-year old tabloid has been through several rounds of layoffs, buyouts and other cost-cutting measures since it was sold to a hedge fund last year. A new owner is expected to announce more cuts this week and may force some employees out of their jobs.
A spokesman for the new owner says the New York Daily News’s new editorial leadership has a clear plan to revive the tabloid. He said the Daily News will become an even stronger source of local news and focus on its strengths as a metro paper.

The Daily News is the first US newspaper to be printed in a tabloid format and reached its peak circulation in 1947, when it was at 2.4 million copies. From 1929 to 1995, the News was based in 220 East 42nd Street near Second Avenue, an official city and national landmark designed by John Mead Howells and Raymond Hood that still has its giant globe and weather instruments in its lobby. The building is now known as Manhattan West and is home to the Associated Press. The News moved to 450 West 33rd Street in 1995. During its tenure at the 42nd Street location, the News was known as “The Daily Planet Building.” The News is currently headquartered in Newark, New Jersey.
