New York Needs its Hometown paper

When the Brooklyn Dodgers won the pennant, you heard it from us.

When the Yankees won the pennant, you heard it from us.

When the Mets won the pennant, you heard it from us.

When President Ford told the city to drop dead, you heard it from us.

When the city went dark, you heard it from us.

When Son of Sam stalked the streets, you heard it from us.

When Sandy soaked the city, you heard it from us.

When New York was attacked, you heard it from us.

We are the unionized reporters, editors and photographers of the New York Daily News. For 106 years, we've covered this town. We've stood up to mayors, crooked cops, landlords and presidents. We've stood up for first responders, for immigrants, for straphangers, tenants, city workers, and everyday New Yorkers just like us.

Since 2021, we've been owned by Alden Global Capital, an odious private equity firm that's more than earned its nickname: "the destroyer of newspapers."

Alden bigs have made out like bandits, closing our newsroom and selling off our printing plant for over $90 million. We cover the city with just 53 full-timers, and 25 of us make less than $69,284 a year, MIT's estimate for a living wage in Gotham.

We’re fighting for our first contract since unionizing in 2021. We’ve been at the table for more than three years.

Stand with us. Defend the Daily News.
