New York Newsday

New York Newsday was an American daily newspaper that primarily served New York City and was sold throughout the New York metropolitan area.[1] The paper, established in 1985, was a New York City-specific offshoot of Newsday, a Long Island-based newspaper that preceded (and succeeded) New York Newsday. The paper was closed by its owner, Times Mirror Company, in 1995.[2]

History

In its 10 years of existence, New York Newsday won three Pulitzer Prizes.[3] Despite the critical praise, the paper struggled to build an audience that could support the economics of publishing in the New York metropolitan area. Circulation peaked at 300,000 and was 231,000 at the time of closure. Many of the paper's reporters, including Pulitzer Prize winner Jim Dwyer, spread to roles in the other New York metropolitan market newspapers (including the New York Times, New York Post and New York Daily News) after New York Newsday's closure.
