The Daily Mail, devised by Alfred Harmsworth (later Lord Northcliffe) and his brother Harold (later Lord Rothermere), was first published on 4 May 1896 and was an immediate success. Alfred Charles William Harmsworth 1st Viscount Northcliffe ( 15 July[[ 865]] - 14 August[[ 922]] rose from childhood poverty to become a powerful British newspaper Harold Sidney Harmsworth 1st Viscount Rothermere ( 26 April 1868 – 26 November 1940) was a highly successful British Newspaper Events 1256 - The Augustinian monastic order is constituted at the Lecceto Monastery when Pope Alexander IV Year 1896 ( MDCCCXCVI) was a Leap year starting on Wednesday (link will display the full calendar of the Gregorian Calendar (or a Leap year 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. Soon after its launch it had more than half a million readers.
Controlled editorially by Alfred, with Harold running the business side of the operation, the Mail from the start adopted a imperialist political stance, taking a strongly patriotic line in the Second Boer War, leading to claims that it was not reporting the issues of the day objectively. Imperialism has two meanings one describing an action and the other describing an attitude See also First Boer War,, South African Wars (1879-1915 The Second Boer War ( Dutch: Tweede Boerenoorlog, Afrikaans: From the beginning, the Mail also set out to entertain its readers with human interest stories, serials, features and competitions (which were also the main means by which the Harmsworths promoted the paper).
In 1906, the paper offered £1,000 for the first flight across the English Channel, and £10,000 for the first flight from London to Manchester. London ( ˈlʌndən is the capital and largest urban area in the United Kingdom. Punch magazine thought the idea preposterous and offered £10,000 for the first flight to Mars, but by 1910 both the Mail's prizes had been won.

Between 1907 and 1925 the Daily Mail newspaper initially on the initiative of its proprietor Alfred Harmsworth 1st Viscount Northcliffe, awarded numerous )
In 1908, the Daily Mail began the Ideal Home Exhibition, which it still runs today. The Ideal Home Show (formerly called the Ideal Home Exhibition) is an annual event run by the Daily Mail in London.
The paper was accused of warmongering before the outbreak of World War I, when it reported that Germany was planning to crush the British Empire. World War I (abbreviated WWI; also known as the First World War, the Great War, and the War to End All Germany, officially the Federal Republic of Germany ( ˈbʊndəsʁepuˌbliːk ˈdɔʏtʃlant is a Country in Central Europe.

The London Stock Exchange or LSE is a Stock exchange located in London, England. Prime Minister H. H. Asquith accused the paper of being disloyal to the country. Herbert Henry Asquith 1st Earl of Oxford and Asquith, KG, PC ( 12 September 1852 &ndash 15 February 1928) served
When Kitchener died, the Mail reported it as a great stroke of luck for the British Empire. The paper then campaigned against Asquith, who resigned on 5 December 1916. Events 63 BC - Cicero reads the last of his Catiline Orations.

In 1922, when Lord Northcliffe died, Lord Rothermere took full control of the paper. Harold Sidney Harmsworth 1st Viscount Rothermere ( 26 April 1868 – 26 November 1940) was a highly successful British Newspaper
In 1924 the Daily Mail published the forged Zinoviev Letter which indicated that British Communists were planning violent revolution.

Michael Mackintosh Foot (born 23 July 1913 is a British politician and writer
In early 1934, Rothermere and the Mail were sympathetic to Oswald Mosley and the British Union of Fascists. Sir Oswald Ernald Mosley 6th Baronet (16 November 1896 &ndash 3 December 1980 was a British Politician, known principally as the founder of the British The British Union of Fascists (BUF was a Political party in the United Kingdom formed in 1932 by a Labour government minister and former MP Rothermere wrote an article, "Hurrah for the Blackshirts", in January 1934, in which he praised Mosley for his "sound, commonsense, Conservative doctrine"[6], though after the violence of the 1934 Olympia meeting involving the BUF, the Mail withdrew its support for Mosley.
Rothermere was a friend and supporter of both Benito Mussolini and Adolf Hitler, which influenced the Mail's political stance towards them up to 1939. Hi and welcome to Wikipedia! Please understand that this article is frequently vandalized and vandalism is reverted immediately During this period, it was the only British newspaper consistently to support the German Nazi Party. Nazism, which was a short name for National Socialism (Nationalsozialismus refers primarily to the Ideology and practices of the National Socialist German [7][8] Rothermere visited and corresponded with Hitler on many occasions. On 1 October 1938, Rothermere sent Hitler a telegram in support of Germany's invasion of the Sudetenland, and expressing the hope that 'Adolf the Great' would become a popular figure in Britain. Events 331 BC - Alexander the Great defeats Darius III of Persia in the Battle of Gaugamela.

In 1937, the Mail's chief war correspondent, George Ward Price, to whom Mussolini once personally wrote in support of him and the newspaper, published a book, I Know These Dictators, in defence of Hitler and Mussolini.
Rothermere and the Mail supported Neville Chamberlain's policy of appeasement, particularly during the events leading up to the Munich Agreement. Arthur Neville Chamberlain (18 March 1869 &ndash 9 November 1940 was a British Conservative Politician and Prime Minister of the United Kingdom The Munich Agreement (Mnichovská dohoda Mníchovská dohoda Münchner Abkommen Accords de Munich was an agreement regarding the Sudetenland, which were areas along borders However, after the Nazi invasion of Prague in 1939, the Mail changed position and urged Chamberlain to prepare for war, not least, perhaps, because on account of its stance it had been threatened with closure by the British Government. Prague (ˈprɑːg Praha (ˈpraɦa see also other names) is the Capital and Largest city of the Czech Republic.
The paper continues to be referred to on occasion by critics as the Daily Heil, referring to its conservative stance and its past support for Mosley. [9]
The Daily Mail was transformed by its editor of the seventies and eighties, Sir David English. Sir David English (1931 &ndash 1998 was a British Journalist and newspaper editor, best known for his twenty-year editorship of the Daily Mail Sir David began his Fleet Street career in 1951, joining The Daily Mirror before moving to The Daily Sketch, where he became features editor. The Daily Mirror, often referred to simply as The Mirror, is a British Tabloid daily Newspaper founded in 1903 It was the Sketch which brought him his first editorship, from 1969 to 1971. That year the Sketch was closed and he moved to take over the top job at the Mail, where he was to remain for more than 20 years. English transformed it from a struggling rival selling two million copies fewer than the Daily Express to a formidable journalistic powerhouse, which soared dramatically in popularity.
After 20 years perfecting the Mail, Sir David English became editor-in-chief and chairman of Associated Newspapers in 1992.
The paper enjoyed a period of journalistic success in the 1980s, employing some of the most inventive writers in old Fleet Street including the gossip columnist Nigel Dempster, Lynda Lee Potter and sportswriter Ian Wooldridge (who unlike some of his colleagues - the paper generally did not support sporting boycotts of white-minority-ruled South Africa - strongly opposed Apartheid). Fleet Street is a street in London, England named after the River Fleet. Nigel Richard Patton Dempster ( 1 November 1941 in Calcutta, India — 12 July 2007 in Ham, Surrey Ian Wooldridge OBE ( 14 January, 1932 – 4 March, 2007) was a British sports journalist.

However, it is less supportive of deregulated commercial television than The Sun, and unlike Rupert Murdoch's tabloid it seems to be broadly nostalgic for what it believes the BBC once was.

In the late 1960s the paper went through a phase of being liberal on social issues like corporal punishment, but this proved short-lived and it soon reverted to its traditional right-wing conservative line.
In Richard Littlejohn, who returned in 2005 from The Sun, it has one of the most right-wing columnists in popular British journalism, alongside Peter Hitchens, who joined its sister title the Mail on Sunday in 2001, when his former newspaper, the Daily Express, was purchased by Richard Desmond, the owner of a number of pornographic titles.

To the surprise of some of its critics, the Mail championed the case of Stephen Lawrence, a black teenager who was murdered in a racially motivated attack in Eltham, London in April 1993. Stephen Lawrence ( 13 September 1974 – 22 April 1993) was a Black British teenager from South-East London who was Eltham is a district in the London Borough of Greenwich. It is a suburban development situated east south-east of Charing Cross. In February 1997, the Mail led its front page with a picture of the five men accused of Lawrence's murder and the headline "MURDERERS", stating that it believed that the men had murdered Lawrence and adding "if we are wrong, let them sue us". In a 2002 interview, editor Paul Dacre described the Lawrence story as a "pivotal moment" and stated that "the old Daily Mail, I'd be the first to admit, was slightly racist. . . but we are not now and Stephen Lawrence was the turning point on that". [14]
The Mail has also opposed the growing of genetically-modified crops in the United Kingdom, a stance it shares with many of its left-wing critics. Genetically modified (GM foods are food items that have had their DNA changed through Genetic engineering.
The Mail is well-known for its right wing stance on numerous issues which it sees as being of moral significance. These include continuing condemnation of convicted criminals such as Myra Hindley and Maxine Carr and television programmes such as Jerry Springer - The Opera or Brass Eye, abortion and reverse discrimination in the UK. Myra Hindley (23 July 1942 &ndash 15 November 2002 was an English Serial killer convicted along with her lover Ian Brady, of killing four children between Jerry Springer The Opera is a British musical written by Stewart Lee and Richard Thomas, based on the Television show Brass Eye is a UK television series of satirical spoof documentaries which aired on Channel 4 in 1997 and was re-run in 2001 Reverse Discrimination, is in its simplest form the practice of favouring a historically disadvantaged group at the expense of members of a historically advantaged group
The Mail is also known for its strong stance on immigration. Generally, its journalists argue emphatically in favour of managed migration whilst criticising what it calls Labour's "open door" immigration policy which, as is often quoted, has reportedly seen the UK's population increase by around 1. 2 million. [15] However, its fervent treatment of issues such as asylum seekers has prompted opponents (including ex-Mayor of London Ken Livingstone in a well-publicised argument)[16] to accuse the Mail of engendering racism. According to the 1951 Convention Relating to the Status of Refugees, a refugee is a person who owing to a well-founded fear of being persecuted for reasons of race The Mayor of London is an elected politician who along with the London Assembly of 25 members is accountable for the strategic government of Greater London (see Kenneth Robert Livingstone (born 17 June 1945 is a British Socialist Politician.

The paper has also been accused of misquoting information about immigration in order to support its anti-immigrant line, a move criticised by the Association of Chief Police Officers (ACPO), who warned that media campaigns against immigrants could lead to a risk of "significant public disorder". The Association of Chief Police Officers ( ACPO) established in 1948 is the lead organisation for developing Police policy in England Wales and Northern Ireland However, the paper chose to interpret this as meaning that the disorder would be caused by immigrants, and failed to mention the media's role when reporting ACPO's statement. [17]
The newspaper is sometimes accused by its critics of having an anti-semitic past, being described by Ken Livingstone as having campaigned not to admit Jewish refugees from Nazi Germany, that it described Jews as infiltrating and undermining the pre-Hitler German government, supporting the Nazis, and blaming the Jews for having caused bad feeling against them in Germany. [18]
The paper now strongly repudiates far-right groups, for instance on 3 February 2006 having the front page headline "In Britain: Two members of the odious BNP go free over remarks offensive to most decent people" on the same day as publishing the article "Cheers as BNP leader walks free". Events 1112 - Ramon Berenguer III of Barcelona and Douce I of Provence marry uniting the fortunes of those two states Year 2006 ( MMVI) was a Common year starting on Sunday of the Gregorian calendar. The British National Party (BNP is a Far-right and whites only political party in the United Kingdom. [19] Despite its anti-mass immigration stance the paper has campaigned for failed asylum seekers from Zimbabwe to be allowed to stay in Britain. According to the 1951 Convention Relating to the Status of Refugees, a refugee is a person who owing to a well-founded fear of being persecuted for reasons of race See also Great Zimbabwe National Monument.

The Daily Mail's online presence with its "comment" features beneath the articles has given some insight into the political views and allegiances of the paper's readers. However, this should be treated with caution as those reading the paper online may not be the same type of people who purchase the paper, and people may have been referred to specific articles from other sites.
An example of feedback which suggests that Daily Mail readers are not as "right wing" as some claim is a 2007 article by Lowri Turner regarding her feelings of anxiety about having had a mixed-race child. Lowri Gwyneth Turner (born 31 December 1964 in London, England) She appeared early in her TV career as a panelist on BBC2's quiz show The article attracted 16 comments every one of which was critical of her stance and many of which accused her of harbouring racist attitudes. [20] On the other hand, other articles feature large numbers of comments that are supportive of the British National Party. [21]
The paper, and the stereotypical "Daily Mail reader" have become stock characters in the UK (as the phrase "Guardian reader" has become for the left/liberal archetype), and are often featured in a negative light in other publications and media:
