The New York Daily News was America's first tabloid and quickly became the country's best-selling newspaper, reaching millions of readers and reshaping how Americans consumed the news. A new book, "The People's Paper: The Rise & Fall of the NY Daily News" by Matthew Pressman, explores how the Daily News both reflected and shaped a changing New York City.

Pressman joined NY1's Errol Louis to discuss the book along with the incredible story behind the famed tabloid. They also touched on the paper's bitter rivalry with the New York Post, Rupert Murdoch's price-cutting strategy at the Post, and damaging business decisions made by former News owner Mort Zuckerman.

Errol Louis and co-moderator Susan Arbetter discussed the first and only debate in New York's gubernatorial race between Gov. Kathy Hochul and her Republican challenger, Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman, which was produced and aired by NY1 and Spectrum News.

They offer a behind-the-scenes look at preparations that began in August, with a roughly 10-person team developing and refining questions for a 60-minute televised debate with commercial breaks. They also assess the candidates' experience in elected office and their ability to articulate their ideas, while discussing how moderators balance breaking news, such as the sexual assault investigation at Cornell, with policy issues like taxes and Medicaid.

In the second installment of NY1's exclusive series "Out of Office with the Mayor," Mayor Zohran Mamdani rode the Staten Island Ferry with NY1 political anchor Errol Louis to the only borough he lost on Election Day. They discussed Pete Davidson's doubts about the mayor, coastal resiliency 14 years after Hurricane Sandy, his meeting with President Donald Trump at Gracie Mansion, the anniversary of the Oct. 7 attacks in Israel, his role in the governor's race and how he plans to celebrate turning 35.
