Despite having a tabloid format, Newsday is not known for being as sensationalistic as other daily tabloids such as the New York Daily News and especially the New York Post.

Newsday is owned by the Tribune Company and is headquartered in Melville, New York. It is usually ranked among the top ten newspapers in circulation in the United States, although in 2004, a scandal arose implying that its circulation had been inflated. A subsequent audit revealed that tens of thousands of papers that had been marked as destroyed were credited to the overall numbers.
