New York Daily News
The New York Daily News is a U.S. newspaper based in New York City. It is the ninth most widely circulated daily newspaper in the country, printing 200,000 copies a day. It was founded in 1919, and was the first U.S. daily printed in tabloid format. As of 2017, the paper is owned by tronc, the publishing operations of the former Tribune Company, and is headquartered at 4 New York Plaza in Lower Manhattan.
Though a self-proclaimed Republican newspaper for much of its history, the Daily News in recent years has exhibited a more moderate-to-liberal bias, and is often contrasted with the right-rated New York Post.

The legal battle between Florida and Disney over how the company’s properties are developed in the future appears to have been resolved, with both parties agreeing to a settlement over control of the special district that includes Orlando’s Walt Disney Resort.
Members of the board of the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District voted unanimously Wednesday to accept a deal proposed by the House of Mouse to end the lengthy and often bitter dispute sparked by the company’s opposition to the “Don’t Say Gay” bill, a law championed by Gov. Ron DeSantis.
The controversial legislation, which prohibits classroom instruction on sexual orientation and gender identity in early grades, was signed into law in early 2022 and became one of the hallmarks of DeSantis’ then-upcoming, and now-failed, run for the White House.
After Disney expressed opposition to the bill, DeSantis retaliated against the company by signing a bill barring Disney from self-governing the areas around its theme parks in Central Florida.
