A daily news is a newspaper that publishes a wide range of articles on the latest events. These papers often cover local events and news, as well as sports and other national events. Some have an editorial page and a column devoted to political issues, while others may contain feature articles. A daily news can also include a comics section and other entertainment features. The New York Daily News, which was founded in 1919 and is one of the first tabloid newspapers, is considered by many to be the first successful newspaper of this genre.

Like all newspapers, daily news use a style of writing that is known as the Associated Press Stylebook, updated yearly. The AP Stylebook includes guidelines on capitalization, punctuation, and word usage that is expected by professional journalists. One important rule to follow when writing a news article is to keep it short and to the point. The best way to do this is to include all the relevant details in the headline. This includes the basic facts of the event, where and when it took place, who was involved, and why it’s newsworthy. Including all the pertinent information in the headline will help to draw readers into the story and encourage them to read the body copy to find out more.

Most daily news have a staff of writers and editors, but the size of this staff depends on the size of the paper and its coverage area. Larger weekly papers may have a number of reporters, each assigned a particular area of the community to cover (e.g., schools, city government, police blotters). Smaller weekly papers may have only one reporter who is responsible for the entire circulation area.

In addition to their news and editorial departments, daily newspapers have a sales staff whose job is to sell advertising space in the paper. Most of this revenue comes from local companies, although some larger businesses from outside the coverage area advertise in daily papers as well.

Some daily news, especially those of a regional nature, have an online presence and provide content on their websites as well as in print. These web-based editions are usually edited by someone other than the staff at the daily newspaper.

Weekly newspapers often have a public-record section that contains summaries of police-incident reports, fire-department calls, and court dispositions. This information is required by law to be published and helps the public keep track of what is happening in their communities. Some public-record sections also include building permits, notices for bids on municipal projects and financial reports that are submitted to the city by municipal governments or other agencies.

The Yale Daily News, which is published each weekday when classes are in session, is the oldest college daily newspaper in the United States. Founded on January 28, 1878, the YDN has had a long list of contributors who have gone on to prominent careers in journalism and politics, including William F. Buckley, Lan Samantha Chang, John Hersey, Joseph Lieberman and Sargent Shriver.
