Does rupert murdoch own the daily mail uk

No, Rupert Murdoch does not own The Daily Mail in the UK. The Daily Mail is a British daily newspaper that is owned by the Daily Mail and General Trust (DMGT), a British media conglomerate.

Rupert Murdoch, on the other hand, is the founder and former CEO of News Corp, a multinational media conglomerate that owns a number of newspapers and other media outlets around the world, including The Sun, The Times, and The Wall Street Journal in the UK and the US, respectively.

While Murdoch's News Corp and DMGT are both major players in the British media landscape, they are separate and distinct companies with their own ownership structures and editorial independence.

It's worth noting that The Daily Mail has a long history of being a conservative-leaning newspaper, while News Corp's UK newspapers, such as The Sun and The Times, have historically been more centrist or center-right in their editorial stance. However, this does not necessarily mean that Murdoch has any direct influence over The Daily Mail's editorial content or ownership.
