The daily mail owner

The Daily Mail is a British daily newspaper owned by DMGT (Daily Mail and General Trust), a British media conglomerate. DMGT is a publicly traded company listed on the London Stock Exchange.

The Daily Mail was founded in 1896 by Alfred Harmsworth, who later became Lord Northcliffe. The newspaper was initially a penny paper, aimed at the working-class population. Over the years, the Daily Mail has undergone several changes in ownership and has been part of various media conglomerates.

In 1922, the Daily Mail was acquired by the Daily Mail and General Trust, which was founded by Harmsworth's brother, Harold Harmsworth, who later became Lord Rothermere. The company has remained family-owned and controlled ever since, with the Rothermere family holding a significant stake in the company.

Today, DMGT is a large media conglomerate with a diverse portfolio of newspapers, magazines, and online platforms. In addition to the Daily Mail, the company owns other prominent titles such as the Mail on Sunday, Metro, and the i newspaper, as well as a number of regional newspapers and magazines.

The Daily Mail is known for its conservative and right-wing editorial stance, and has been criticized for its sensationalist and provocative reporting style. However, the newspaper remains one of the most widely read and influential publications in the UK, with a daily circulation of over 1.5 million copies.
