Called "too tough to die," the New York Daily News was the largest circulation metropolitan daily newspaper in the United States for much of the 20th century. The pioneering tabloid, and its eponymous holding company, fell on hard times in the 1980s, though, and a five-month strike in 1990 forced its parent company, the Tribune Company, to put it up for sale. British publisher Robert Maxwell took over the paper in 1991, but died later that year under mysterious circumstances. The paper found new ownership in Mortimer Zuckerman and Fred Drasner at the beginning of 1993. It soon returned to profitability and has become New York's leading tabloid.

The New York Daily News was always the largest circulation tabloid in America and as Pete Hamill says in his excellent twenty page essay `The Daily News was possessed of a quality derived from the city itself: energy. The tone was brash, sarcastic, irreverent.' All successful tabloid papers have two things in common, the headlines and the photos and this beautifuuly produced book has hundreds of the latter.

The first issue of the New York Daily News was published on June 26, 1919. It was a pioneer of the tabloid format. In his introductory editorial, Joseph Patterson wrote, "The policy of the Daily News will be your policy. It will be aggressively for America and for the people of New York." The newspaper was owned by the Tribune Company, which was based in Chicago and published the Chicago Tribune.

Mort Zuckerman, publisher of the New York Daily News, says he is pessimistic about the print industry's prospects as more readers migrate to the Internet. Rival Rupert Murdoch "is prepared to lose [money] for a very long time in the hopes that he basically kills off his competition."
