Produktbeschreibungen
From Library Journal
From the first issue, photography was paramount to the Daily News, begat by Joseph Patterson in 1919 as the Illustrated Daily News. Four score and more years later, this New York City tabloid is still a picture paper. Veteran New York newsman Hamill's introduction offers an inverted-triangle history of the Daily News. The book then segues into a decade-by-decade gallery of photos, from the days of flash-pan photography and the roving shutterbugs who had PRESS cards tucked into the bands of sweat-stained fedoras and lugged monstrous 4 5 Speed Graphics with lightsaber flashes, through the takeover of the 35mm Nikon F in the 1960s, to the camera-does-everything shooters of today. Hamill generously and rightly bestows full journalistic credit on these photographers as equals to their reporter counterparts in nailing a story, and the gallery of 320 monochrome photos proves that sentiment beyond rebuttal. The images cover all aspects of New York City life during the last 80 years, from sports, crime, celebrities, mob rub-outs, soldiers, statesmen, fires, and fashion to the everyday working-class people who are New York's news. Each photo includes an explanatory caption and the name of the photographer. New York Exposed is a tabloid treasure that delivers the history of 20th-century Gotham through stories told in 125th of a second. Recommended. Michael Rogers, "Library Journal"

Kurzbeschreibung
The New York Daily News is one of New York City's most widely read newspapers. Its front-page headlines and provocative photographs never fail to captivate its daily audience or entice the nosy, neighboring subway rider. This book, now available as an Abradale, is a collection of 320 duotone photographs, spanning 80 years, from the newspaper's unparalleled archives. Organized chronologically by decade, the photographs capture all of the heart and guts of the big city, from crammed sports stadiums and glamorous nightclubs to mean streets and treacherous rooftops. An introduction by Pete Hamill, best-selling author and former editor-in-chief of the Daily News, adds to the dramatic impact of the photographs, powerfully bringing the history of one of the greatest cities in the world to life.

An Excellent New York Photo Documentary
17. November 2001
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
As the grandson of NY Daily News photographer Charles Hoff, this book offered much insight in to family (as well as New York) history. Only a hint at the tremendous photographic contribution of the NYDN can be addressed in one book, even in a volume this large. Still, it reveals fascinating insight in to the last eighty years of New York visual history through stunningly beautiful photographs. The quality is only enhanced by the fact that the book was published just prior to the tragic events of September, 2001 -- the book closes with a wonderfful photograph of the World Trade Center, as well as text by Shawn O'Sullivan that in retrospect is perfectly appropriate -- that the picture press remains vigilant in a constantly changing city.

The dailiness of New York life.
18. Mai 2002
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
The New York Daily News was always the largest circulation tabloid in America and as Pete Hamill says in his excellent twenty page essay "The Daily News was possessed of a quality derived from the city itself: energy. The tone was brash, sarcastic, irreverent." All successful tabloid papers have two things in common: the headlines and the photos and this beautifuuly produced book has hundreds of the latter.
To get great photos the paper had always invested in its photo department, which by the fifties had two planes, ten radio cars, a brigade of motorcycle couriers and a staff of sixty-three to insure no story was missed. This book shows the benefits of this investment. Eight chapters are devoted to a photo record of the decades from the twenties through to the nineties and as the News was a tabloid, the rough and tumble of daily toil is revealed: politicians; celebrities; sport; crime (some of these predictably stark) and when appropriate, the weather. Each photo has very detailed captions and thankfully, the photographer's name.
Shawn O'Sullivan, who works on the paper, writes in a short essay titled 'Photography at the Daily News' "In making this book, we sought to show the images in all of their original beauty, as the photographer originally witnessed the scene....". I think this was a mistake, newspaper photographers don't know how a photo is going to be used on the page and they try to take plenty of shots, so that Photo Editors will have lots of choice. I have a book published in 1979 celebrating fifty years of the News and it has many of the same photos as this latest book but in the earlier one the photos are handled in a much tighter way and sensibly trimmed to get the best from the image.
Apart from some of the photo trimming I enjoyed New York Exposed, a photographic book that captures the dailiness of New York life. If you lived in the city it will be a stimulating reminder of the last eighty years.

new york in photos

a compilation of photos from the daily news photographers
incredible collection here. my only disappoitment, which is a slight one, is that the 90's section does not seem to have the same feel as the other decades do
