A daily news report is a newspaper article that describes current events. This article often includes an analysis of the topic, and may offer opinions or commentary on it. Learning how to interpret and evaluate this type of reporting is an important skill for students of journalism. In addition to enhancing reading skills, the ability to analyze a news story also allows students to strengthen critical thinking abilities.

In its 20th-century heyday, the New York Daily News was a brawny metro tabloid that thrived when it dug into crime and corruption. It served as a model for the satirical Daily Planet tabloid depicted in the first two Superman movies, and won Pulitzer Prizes in commentary and in international reporting. In its heyday, the Daily News had the fourth-highest weekday circulation of any newspaper in the country. Its headquarters was the art deco Daily News Building, designed by John Mead Howells and Raymond Hood and featuring a large globe in its lobby. The building was replaced in 1995 by a new headquarters at 450 West 33rd Street, known as Manhattan West.

By 2017, the newspaper was struggling, and owner Mortimer B. Zuckerman sold it to Tronc for $1. The Daily News is still published today, but it is no longer one of the top-selling newspapers in the United States. Its circulation is now around 200,000 copies a day. Nevertheless, it is still an important source of news and information in New York City.
