The Daily Mail is a leading British tabloid newspaper launched in 1896 by brothers Alfred and Harold Harmsworth, quickly becoming one of the world's first mass-circulation dailies due to its affordable price and sensational style focused on news, politics, celebrities, sports, and human-interest stories.
Owned by the Daily Mail and General Trust (DMGT), controlled by Jonathan Harmsworth, the 4th Viscount Rothermere, a descendant of the founders, it maintains a strong digital presence via MailOnline, one of the most visited news sites globally, blending investigative journalism with opinionated commentary.
In 2025, amid industry shifts, it continues emphasizing UK-centric coverage, live updates, and multimedia content while navigating ownership changes like DMGT's delisting from the stock exchange.
