Daily Mirror

The Daily Mirror is a British tabloid newspaper launched on November 2, 1903 by Alfred Harmsworth (later Lord Northcliffe). The Mirror has a long tradition as a left-leaning newspaper, having consistently supported the Labour Party since World War II. The Sunday Mirror is the Sunday edition of the newspaper, which was launched in 1915 as The Sunday Pictorial and became the Sunday Mirror in 1963.

In 1984 The Mirror was sold to Robert Maxwell. Maxwell died in 1991, and in 1999 the newspaper was sold to Trinity Mirror plc (now Reach plc), which was formed by the merger of the Mirror Group and the regional newspaper group Trinity. The Mirror has long competed with The Daily Mail for the middle of the British newspaper market, and in recent years has been losing that contest.

The Mirror was both praised and damned for its headline following the re-election of George W. Bush for a second term as president of the United States. Its November 4, 2004 front page blared "How can 59,054,087 people be so DUMB?"

Circulation estimate: 358,000

Singer Prince: 'The Internet's Completely Over'
-- London's Daily Mirror reported on July 5, 2010: "Shelby shows me into a room like a 50s diner and, before I have had chance to sit down, Prince strides in, beaming, with hand outstretched. "You must come and listen to the album," he says. "I hope you like it. It's great that it will be free to readers of your newspaper. I really believe in finding new ways to distribute my music."
