Daily Mirror
Daily Mirror is a British national daily tabloid newspaper that was first published on 2 November 1903. It is owned by parent company Reach plc, which operates numerous other newspapers and digital platforms in the United Kingdom.
History[edit | edit source]
The Daily Mirror was launched by Alfred Harmsworth, later known as Lord Northcliffe, as a newspaper for women, run by women. However, it was not a success and he decided to relaunch it as a pictorial newspaper with a broader focus. The newspaper's circulation grew rapidly under the guidance of his brother, Harold Harmsworth, who took over after Alfred's death in 1922.
Format and content[edit | edit source]
The Daily Mirror is published in the tabloid format, which is smaller and more compact than the traditional broadsheet format. The newspaper covers a wide range of topics, including news, politics, sports, and entertainment. It is known for its populist and liberal stance, often championing the rights of the working class.
Digital presence[edit | edit source]
In addition to its print edition, the Daily Mirror also has a strong online presence. Its website, Mirror.co.uk, offers a digital version of the newspaper and features additional content such as blogs, podcasts, and videos.
Criticism and controversy[edit | edit source]
Over the years, the Daily Mirror has been involved in several controversies, including accusations of phone hacking and the publication of false stories. Despite these controversies, the newspaper has maintained a large and loyal readership.
