The Daily Mail has been extensively chastised for its dependability and for publishing sensationalist and misleading scare tales regarding science and medical research, as well as cases of plagiarism and copyright infringement. The paper has also been criticized for its lack of transparency when producing its content.
However, it is the Daily Mail's reputation for provocative headline stories that have made it one of the most read newspapers in Britain. These include reports on military secrets, crime, celebrity scandals, and political intrigue.
The Daily Mail was founded in 1896 by C. P. Thackeray and John Maxwell. It originally focused on promoting the interests of the Indian Railway Service before moving on to cover other topics including politics, society, and entertainment. In 2001, it became a subsidiary of the London-based media company DMGT which also publishes the Daily Mirror and the Sunday Mirror.
In 2016, The Daily Mail had an average daily readership of 3.5 million people across print and digital platforms. This makes it the largest-selling newspaper in the UK.
It is also one of the most controversial newspapers in Europe. The Daily Mail has been accused of racism for its coverage of immigration issues and of sexism because of its treatment of women journalists.
The Daily Mail is a morning daily newspaper published in London. It is long noted for its foreign reporting. It was one of the first British papers to popularize its coverage to appeal to a mass readership. It has been called "the most successful newspaper in England". The Mail was founded by Sir David Brewster and his brother Edward, who were also the founders of the Guardian newspaper. The first issue came out on 14 October 1896.
Brewster had wanted to call the paper "The Evening Mail", but this name was already taken by another newspaper. So he settled on the Daily Mail to indicate that it was delivered every day at dawn.
It began as a Liberal newspaper, but after the merger of the Liberal Party with the Conservative Party under the leadership of Benjamin Disraeli in 1874, the Mail became conservative. It supported Margaret Thatcher when other newspapers refused to publish her letters.
Today, it is owned by the Canadian company Postmedia. But it remains a British newspaper, with reporters based in London and offices around Britain. It still prints some articles in Philadelphia because of an agreement with the Delaware newspaper which serves as its US counterpart.
It has won more than 100 awards from journalism bodies around the world. In 1998 it was named the best quality newspaper in the English language by the North American Newspaper Association.
The Daily Mail accounts for more than one-quarter of all national daily newspapers sold. It's a watershed moment. Highest-quality journalism in every section of the publication has made it a favorite read of politicians and their aides, journalists, and business leaders.
The paper was founded by Sir Richard Steadman and his son David in 1824. They wanted to provide "a medium for the dissemination of political and other intelligence." Today, the website reaches 30 million unique visitors per month, while its print edition has an average circulation of 3.5 million per day.
The Mail is best known for its tabloid style coverage of news stories. However, it also publishes serious articles on politics, sports, and entertainment.
It's been praised for its quality investigative journalism and has won several awards from journalism organizations.
But it's also been criticized for its lack of diversity in the staff and ownership of its publications. In 2016, then-editor Paul Dacre said there were "no plans" for a female editor at the paper.
Dacre stepped down as editor in 2017 after 13 years in the position. His deputy, Dan Wootton, will take over as editor in January 2018.
