The Standard said the deal builds upon a similar deal with Novaya Gazeta, the Moscow-based daily owned by the Standard's majority shareholder, Russian Alexander Lebedev. The New York Daily News claims to be the fifth most-widely circulated daily newspaper in the US.
The paper said other such partnerships will be announced shortly, although declined to announce details.
Meanwhile, former foreign editor of the Daily Telegraph, Stephen Robinson, has joined the Evening Standard's team of writers and columnists.
He joins regulars including Simon Jenkins, Will Self, Andrew O'Hagan, Viv Groskop, Emma Duncan, Chris Addison, Jason Cowley, Sam Leith and Matthew Norman.
Andrew Gilligan, meanwhile, will be leaving the Evening Standard to join The Daily Telegraph.
Last week, Media Week revealed that Lebedev is understood to be in advanced talks to buy The Independent and The Independent on Sunday.
Such a deal would hand control of two major national UK newspapers to Lebedev, in addition to his acquisition of a 75.1% stake in the Standard in January.
