Saturday November 1st 1930
Beyond the reports below, the front page of the paper had at least one further story: "Panama Canal runs dry?".
Hooverville mystery deepens
The paper brought attention to reports of disappearances form the city's Hooverville, asking whether this was cause for alarm or an elaborate hoax aimed at the municipal government. It went on to say that officials had dismissed claims that New Yorkers were being abducted as "scare-mongering". (TV: Daleks in Manhattan)

Railroad profits run out of track
The New York Record reported that following a steady increase in railroad profits, there was a recent sharp drop. Railroad companies were apparently predicting that this would be the beginning of a long-term downturn rather than a short-term issue. (TV: Daleks in Manhattan)
Behind the scenes
The New York Record is not a real newspaper. Although the edition Martha Jones reads is explicitly dated, the one that Amy Pond reads is not. This allows for the possibility that Amy is not reading a 2012 edition at all, even though the Doctor does specifically state that they are in 2012 New York.
In the real world, the Superbowl headline would be out of place for several reasons. The Superbowl is played at the end of the NFL season, generally the first or second weekend of February, which is winter in New York. The appearance of Central Park in the episode clearly suggests it is spring at the time. Also, as of 2013, the Detroit Lions of the National Football League have never appeared in the Superbowl.
