The Daily News is an American newspaper founded in 1919 in New York City as the first U.S. daily printed in tabloid format. It is currently owned by tronc (formerly Tribune Publishing) and is the ninth most circulated newspaper in the United States. It has a moderate-to-liberal political bias and is often compared to its conservative rival, the New York Post. The paper is headquartered in the landmark Daily News Building on 42nd Street in Lower Manhattan, designed by architects John Mead Howells and Raymond Hood. It is famous for its large globe in the lobby. The News once also operated the television station, WPIX, which still occupies its old studios in the building.

A very brief index of headlines from major US newspapers and some international ones as well as a selection of international and regional news in Spanish. The index can be used to build a chronology for stories. The full text of most of the original articles can be retrieved for a fee from various fee-based resources listed at the bottom of this guide.
