International Reporting

The Daily Mail Luis Lucero

The Daily Mail is based out of London, England. It is a tabloid publication and is the second such best selling publication in the area before The Sun. Started in 1896, it was one of the first publications to be aimed at the newly educated lower middle class of England that resulted from mass education. The Daily Mail has two international editions, Continental Daily Mail, covering all of the Europe and North Africa, and Overseas Daily Mail, which covers the rest of the world.

 

As it is a tabloid, the Daily Mail has been often accused of publishing sensationalist stories full in an effort to increase readership. The publication has also been accused of racism and homophobia, due to its conservative leaning. One example occurred after the 2015 Paris attacks, when the Daily Mail posted an editorial cartoon about the Syrian refugee crisis and how they supposedly tie into the attacks.
