The Daily Mail is
a British daily middle-market tabloid conservative
newspaper founded in 1896 and published in London. As of 2020, it has the highest
circulation of paid newspapers in the UK. Its
sister paper The Mail on Sunday was launched in 1982, a Scottish edition was launched in 1947, and an Irish edition in 2006. Content from the paper appears
on the Mail Online news
website, although the website is managed
separately and has its own editor.
The paper is owned by
the Daily Mail and General Trust. Jonathan Harmsworth, 4th Viscount
Rothermere, a great-grandson of one of the original co-founders, is the
chairman and controlling shareholder of the Daily Mail and General Trust, while
day-to-day editorial decisions for the newspaper are usually made by a team led
by the editor. Ted Verity succeeded Geordie Greig as editor
on 17 November 2021.
History
The Daily Mail,
devised by Alfred Harmsworth (later Viscount Northcliffe) and his
brother Harold (later Viscount Rothermere), was first published on 4
May 1896. It was an immediate success. It cost a halfpenny at a time when
other London dailies cost one penny, and was more populist in tone and more
concise in its coverage than its rivals. The planned issue was 100,000 copies,
but the print run on the first day was 397,215, and additional printing
facilities had to be acquired to sustain a circulation that rose to 500,000 in
1899. Lord Salisbury, 19th-century Prime Minister of the United
Kingdom, dismissed the Daily Mail as
"a newspaper produced by office boys for office boys." By 1902, at the end of the Boer Wars,
the circulation was over a million, making it the largest in the world.
