News Tower is a 2025 newspaper management simulation video game. The title is developed by Sparrow Night, an indie studio based in Rotterdam, and published by Twin Sails Interactive. It entered Steam Early Access on February 13, 2024 for PC and Mac platforms. The complete version released on November 18, 2025.

Players take on the role of a publisher managing a local Brooklyn paper inherited from their uncle. The setting is 1930s New York City during the Great Depression and Prohibition era. The objective involves building a media empire while handling the challenges of journalism. Staff recruitment and management are key components of gameplay, alongside seeking stories throughout the world.

Players must balance journalistic ethics against influences from powerful groups like the mafia, mayor, military and elite society members who may provide incentives for positive coverage. Additionally, designing and upgrading newspaper headquarters floor by floor occurs within the game. Weekly publishing deadlines require strategic planning to meet.
