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.

A man fell to his death while smoking a cigarette between moving subway cars on the Upper East Side Christmas morning.
The 49-year-old victim was lighting up on the gangway between two cars of a northbound No. 6 train when he lost his footing and fell in the tunnel underneath Lexington Ave. between the 68th St-Hunter College and 77th St. stations around 10 p.m., cops said.
