Founded by [[Alicia Patterson]] and her husband, [[Harry Guggenheim]], the first edition of ''Newsday'' was September 3, 1940, published from [[Hempstead, New York|Hempstead]].<ref>Arlen, A., Arlen, M.J. ''The Huntress: The Adventures, Escapades, and Triumphs of Alicia Patterson: Aviatrix, Sportswoman, Journalist, Publisher'' (Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group, 2016) {{ISBN|9781101871133}}</ref>
Until undergoing a major redesign in the 1970s, ''Newsday'' copied the ''[[New York Daily News|Daily News]]'' format of short stories and numerous pictures. Patterson was fired as a writer at her father's ''Daily News'' in her early 20s, after getting the basic facts of a divorce wrong in a published report. She later went on the publish and edit ''Newsday''. Following Patterson's death in 1963, Guggenheim became publisher and editor.
In 1967, Guggenheim turned over the publisher position to [[Bill Moyers]] and continued as president and editor-in-chief. But Guggenheim was disappointed by the liberal drift of the newspaper under Moyers, criticizing what he called the "left-wing" coverage of the anti-[[Vietnam War]] protests.<ref name="time42770">{{cite magazine|url=http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,909136,00.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101030152452/http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,909136,00.html|url-status=dead|archive-date=October 30, 2010|title=The Press: How Much Independence?|date=April 27, 1970|magazine=[[Time (magazine)|Time]]|access-date=February 15, 2010}}</ref><ref name="keeler">{{cite book|last=Keeler|first=Robert F.|title=Newsday: a candid history of the respectable tabloid|publisher=Morrow|year=1990|pages=[https://archive.org/details/newsdaycandidhis00keel_0/page/460 460–61]|isbn=1-55710-053-5|url=https://archive.org/details/newsdaycandidhis00keel_0/page/460}}</ref>
