24 June 2019 - 11:05PM
The New York Daily News will be celebrating its 100th anniversary
on Wednesday, June 26, 2019. The organization is marking the
occasion by publishing one million copies of a special
commemorative section and holding events around the city.
The commemorative section, provided to subscribers on Sunday
June 23rd, will also be inserted into editions of the Daily News
throughout the week and available for purchase at newsstands. The
120-page print and digital edition includes the history of the
paper, renowned Daily News photos by decade, contributions from
several legendary News columnists and a look at a century of news
stories. Newsies in traditional outfits will be distributing
the section during the Wednesday afternoon rush hour at Grand
Central Station, Penn Station, Port Authority, Union Square and
Staten Island Ferry.“This is a celebration of our past, even as we
are very focused on the future,” said Terry Jimenez, CFO, Tribune
Publishing. “The New York Daily News has been a critical part of
the New York fabric, and our audience reach across print and
digital products allows us to continue to help shape the story of
consumers and advertisers.” The New York Yankees will also honor
the occasion with a NY Daily News 100th Anniversary Commemorative
Yankees Poster Day for their June 26 home game against the Toronto
Blue Jays. The poster, presented by the New York Daily News, will
be available for the first 40,000 fans to enter Yankee Stadium. “In
the Daily News’ inaugural edition, founder Joseph Medill Patterson
stressed the paramount importance of ‘fearless and independent’
local journalism,” said Robert York, Editor-in-Chief, New York
Daily News. “Much has evolved and advanced in the past century, but
today’s News continues to live by those principles.” The historical
