Newsday was founded in 1940 as a daily newspaper serving Long Island, New York. The idea for Newsday came from Alicia Patterson, a journalist and publisher, who saw the need for a local newspaper that could provide comprehensive coverage of the growing suburban communities on Long Island. Patterson, along with her husband, Harry Guggenheim, launched Newsday with the goal of becoming the premier news source for the region. Today, Newsday is owned by Altice USA, a major telecommunications and media company. Based in Melville, New York, Newsday covers a wide range of news topics, including local and regional news, politics, business, sports, entertainment, and lifestyle. The newspaper's primary focus is on issues and events affecting Long Island and the New York metropolitan area, but it also includes national and international news that is relevant to its readership. Newsday maintains a strong digital presence through its website, newsday.com, which features breaking news, in-depth reporting, and multimedia content. One interesting fact: A unique aspect of Newsday is its long-standing commitment to investigative journalism. Over the years, the newspaper has earned numerous awards and accolades for its investigative reporting, including Pulitzer Prizes, for exposing government corruption, environmental issues, and other important stories that have had a significant impact on the Long Island community and beyond.
Newsday is ranked 2,506 among other media sources and has an average of 3,383,000 monthly visits according to Similar Web.
