Is the daily mail owned by rupert murdoch

The Daily Mail is not owned by Rupert Murdoch. It is actually owned by the Daily Mail and General Trust plc, a British media company.

However, there is a connection between the Daily Mail and News Corp, the media conglomerate founded by Rupert Murdoch. In 2011, News Corp acquired a 39% stake in the Daily Mail's parent company, Daily Mail and General Trust plc, for £625 million. This deal gave News Corp a significant stake in the Daily Mail, but did not give them control of the company.

In 2018, News Corp sold its stake in Daily Mail and General Trust plc back to the company, reducing its ownership to 0%. The Daily Mail remains an independent company, with no direct ownership or control by Rupert Murdoch or News Corp.

It's worth noting that the Daily Mail has a reputation for being a conservative-leaning newspaper, while News Corp's other major newspaper, The Sun, is known for its more tabloid-style reporting and has a more centrist to right-wing bias. Despite this, the two companies have maintained a professional relationship and have collaborated on various projects over the years.
