A daily news is a newspaper that comes out every day and covers a wide variety of topics. The most common is a political or economic topic but there are also other types of news that come out daily such as sports and entertainment. Many newspapers have a daily news section and people often read them to stay informed about what is going on in the world.
The Yale Daily News is the oldest college daily newspaper in the United States and serves the students, faculty and community of Yale and New Haven. The newspaper is published Monday through Friday during the academic year and is financially and editorially independent. It has a large staff and publishes a number of special issues during the year including a game day issue, commencement issue, and the First Year Issue. The paper has a strong emphasis on the Yale-Harvard relationship and in recent years has celebrated its Indigenous, Black, Latino, Asian American and Pacific Islander communities in collaboration with Yale’s cultural centers and affiliated student groups.
A spokesman for a hedge fund that owns the Daily News says it will relaunch the paper in 2021, with an expanded staff and new digital products. The new Daily News will feature “a more traditional, investigative, and civicly engaged approach to news coverage, bringing readers the stories they care about from across the globe,” according to a statement. The company is still looking for a publisher for the paper.
Hedge-fund ownership has sparked buyouts and cuts at the Daily News since it took over last year, including a plan to outsource its printing plant. The move could result in a substantial loss of jobs.

The Daily News was founded in 1875 by Melville E. Stone and grew into one of the nation’s largest papers in its heyday in the 1920s. The paper was known for its sensational headlines, including the 1975 screamer, “Ford to City: Drop Dead.” Its journalism focused on political wrongdoing and social intrigue—such as the romance between Wallis Simpson and King Edward VIII that led to her abdication—and it was an early adopter of the Associated Press wirephoto service. The paper was headquartered at 220 East 42nd Street, a historic building designed by architects John Mead Howells and Raymond Hood that is now a national landmark. The News moved to a new building in 1995 but the landmark structure remains known as The News Building. The former News radio station WPIX, now known as CBS Radio’s KFAN-FM, is based in the building. The News also owns the New York Observer and the New York Post. Its sister publications are the Los Angeles Times and Chicago Tribune.
