Can you get featured in New York Daily News?
The hometown tabloid New Yorkers have read for generations for city news, sports and the stories people talk about.
The New York Daily News covers New York City: local news, politics, crime and courts, the city’s sports teams, entertainment and the people who make the five boroughs run. Earned coverage usually goes to breaking news, public figures and the handful of local stories big enough to lead the day. A guaranteed placement works differently: it is arranged with the publication before any writing starts, you sign off on the draft, and it goes live on nydailynews.com within a window stated in writing, usually three to five days. It is a real article on the site that you can put in a proposal, a deck or a profile.
What New York Daily News covers
The New York Daily News is one of the city’s best-known newspapers, a tabloid built around New York itself. It covers City Hall and Albany, neighborhoods in all five boroughs, crime and the courts, transit, schools and housing, alongside heavy coverage of the Yankees, Mets, Knicks, Nets, Giants, Jets and Rangers. Entertainment, food, opinion and local business round out the report.
The voice is direct, fast and unmistakably New York: short sentences, strong headlines and a clear sense of who the story is about. The Daily News likes people more than abstractions, so a restaurant owner who kept a block fed, a Bronx founder hiring locally, a Brooklyn artist selling out a first show or a neighborhood business marking a milestone all belong on its pages.
Who reads New York Daily News
Daily News readers are New Yorkers first: commuters, families, small-business owners, sports fans and longtime residents from Queens to Staten Island, along with former New Yorkers who still follow the city from elsewhere. They read it to know what is happening on their block, in their borough and with their teams, and they notice when a neighbor makes the paper.
For a business or a person who depends on New York customers, that recognition is practical. A Daily News feature is a credential local customers, landlords, venue bookers, community boards and partners understand at a glance, and it works on a storefront wall, a menu, a booking kit or a pitch to a New York client just as well as it does online.

What makes a story pitch-ready for New York Daily News
Daily News readers want a person, a place and a reason to care.
The Daily News writes for people who know the city, so a feature works when it is rooted somewhere specific: a block, a borough, a venue, a community. The strongest pieces name the neighborhood, introduce a person readers can picture, and explain what happened in plain language, with a detail or two that only a New Yorker would catch.
We start by finding which of the angles below fits your corner of the city. Many clients lead with their company when the better story is the neighborhood they serve or the path that brought them to New York.
What weakens a pitch
- No New York connection. The Daily News is a city paper, and a story that could be set anywhere will not hold its readers.
- Corporate language. Readers want to hear how a person talks, not how a brochure reads, so plain words always win here.
- Claims nobody can check. If a number, a title or a first cannot be supported, it stays out, because everything we write must be true.
- Too many stories at once. One person, one place and one moment make a stronger feature than a full company history.
