the Daily Mirror
/ðə ˌdeɪli ˈmɪrə(r)/
/ðə ˌdeɪli ˈmɪrər/
- one of Britain's national daily newspapers, sometimes referred to as just the Mirror, and known as that at various times in the past. It was started in 1903 by Alfred Harmsworth, who later became Lord Northcliffe, as a newspaper for women. At first it was not a success, but it became very successful when it was made the world's first daily newspaper with pictures. The newspaper presents political views that are generally left-wing. It is tabloid size, and is considered to be part of the ‘popular press’ (not one of the ‘quality papers’). see also Sunday Mirror
