The Daily News is an American newspaper based in New York City. It is a tabloid and the fourth-most widely circulated daily newspaper in the United States. Intended target audience is adults who live in New York. Daily News was founded in 1919, and was the first U.S. daily printed in tabloid format by Mortimer Zuckerman.
The style of Daily News is very plain and simple. The background is gray and white. Only colors there are the pictures of the news.
Daily News have a little political agenda, because I think it is not telling in general about Trump situation but is against him. From one of the news: ‘Barack Obama needs to come back from his vacation. Michelle, too. We need a voice for the majority of Americans who did not vote for Donald Trump. Democrats and progressives are frantic about Trump’s steady stream of executive orders violating the human and civil rights of people firmly established by law and the U.S. Constitution.’
I do not think the paper have any qualities that seem unique to the US. The day’s headlines include death cases and Trump news and news about New York. These are topical news about what is happening right now in US and New York.
It was hard to find even one article that I like. But then I finally found something more interesting than other news. I like this article because I like traveling and exploring new places. ‘VIVA Viajes: La Ruta Taina explores P.R.’s indigenous roots.’ It tells about La Ruta Taína which is a new attraction that gives visitors a chance to learn about Puerto Rico’s indigenous history through a guided trek across the lands of the inhabitants of the pre-Columbian Caribbean and surrounding areas.
News that I do not like are those death cases because it is not funny to read them, although they are kind of interesting in some way. ‘New Jersey woman charged with attempted murder after throwing stranger’s 5-year-old child on train tracks.’
I do not recommend reading this paper, because the most of it is uninteresting and useless. There is so much boring news that are not interesting at all. Although Daily News have also some interesting viewpoints, I do not really like these news there. I could not use it as a source of information for school.

You cover the basics of the task quite well. Something rather big is missing, however: You talk about the printed newspaper in the beginning but there is no mention of its website even though that is the one you are researching. Without knowing you used an online newspaper and seeing the link at the end, I would think you’ve glanced through a physical newspaper.
Why do you think you couldn’t use Daily News for school work? Do their reports seem false, misleading or biased (puolueellinen)? Remember to give reasons for your statements.
Sidenote: I’m also quite surprised by your reason for not liking the newspaper. If the reported news is factually sound and unbiased, it is not up to us to LIKE it. My reason for this is that in general, the news isn’t supposed to entertain anyone, it is meant to inform. Entertainment is an entirely separate area of life. If unfortunate, complicated, tedious and/or sad things are happening, we should read about them to stay informed. Of course it’s great to hear about happy things like a lost person found and returned to their family or about dropping infant death rates or about fantastic new hiking routes but those are not the only news we should keep track of.
Things to pay attention to:
– Daily News HAS SOME KIND OF political agenda (a little political agenda = pieni poliittinen agenda)
– about Trump situation but is against him –> about situation regarding Trump / about Trump’s actions
– From one of the news -> From the news / From one piece of news (News on kollektiivisana, joten jos haluaa puhua vai yhdestä uutisesta, pitää poimia sieltä a piece / an item of news.
– I do not think the paper HAS any qualities
– It IS about La Ruta Taína
– Daily News HAS

You describe the newspaper’s style and its content nicely and I like that you quoted an article. Good job!
