The avalanche of news that breaks every day can be overwhelming. Sorting through clickbait, deciphering conflicting sources and understanding the nuances of different events can be difficult. Fortunately, there are plenty of podcasts that can help.
Designed for fair representation, daily news podcasts offer unbiased commentary and thorough analysis of the latest events. From political candidates to societal debates, these podcasts are ideal for those interested in comprehensive perspectives.
One of the most popular daily news podcasts is The Daily, a series from The New York Times. Each episode dives deep into one or two of the most important news stories of the day, helping listeners understand the context and implications of these events. The show also features interviews with Times journalists, giving listeners a unique perspective on the most compelling issues of our time.
In the 1920s and 1930s, the Daily News found abundant subject matter such as political wrongdoing in the Teapot Dome scandal and social intrigue like the romance between Wallis Simpson and King Edward VIII. The paper developed a large staff of photographers and became an early user of the Associated Press wirephoto service. The newspaper also devoted much attention to layout and design, including a full-page photograph on each edition.
In 1995, the paper moved from its historic location on 42nd Street and Second Avenue to a single floor of an office building at 450 West 33rd Street. Known as The News Building, it is the iconic skyscraper that was the model for the Daily Planet building in the first two Superman movies. The News has also earned a reputation, in part through litigation, for protecting First Amendment rights. In addition to forcing the courts to unseal records in death penalty cases, it has helped improve public access to city school and family court files.
