The Daily News is an American newspaper published in New York City. It is the third largest newspaper in the United States with a circulation of about 2.4 million copies a day and is considered to be one of the most influential newspapers in the country. The paper is not related to the earlier Daily News of the 19th century, which was the first tabloid newspaper in the U.S., nor to the New York Daily News of the 20th century which was a major metropolitan newspaper in its heyday.

Yale University Library has scanned these pages from print volumes held in its collections and made them available on this website. Yale alums have contributed generously to support the ongoing digitization and maintenance of the archive.
