:''Alternate newspaper: ''[[The Daily Mirror (Australia)]]
'''''The Daily Mirror''''' is a popular [[United Kingdom|British]] [[tabloid]] daily [[newspaper]]. For a period during the [[1990s]] it was renamed '''''The Mirror''''', but reverted to its original name in [[2002]].
The newspaper was launched in [[1903]] by [[Alfred Harmsworth]] as a newspaper for women. However, in this format it was unsuccessful and he quickly changed the focus and added pictures and photographs. This improved the circulation dramatically. The paper was later owned by Alfred's brother [[Harold Harmsworth]] (Lord Rothermere), it was bought by [[Robert Maxwell]] in [[1984]], and is now owned by [[Trinity Mirror]].
Trinity Mirror is based at [[One Canada Square]]—the premier ___location in London's [[Canary Wharf]] development.
In 1978, the paper announced its support for a British withdrawal from [[Ireland]].
During the [[1990s]] the paper was accused of dumbing-down in an attempt to poach readers from [[Rupert Murdoch|Rupert Murdoch's]] ''[[The Sun|Sun]]'', although judging by their relative sales figures this was unsuccessful. Also in 2002 the ''Mirror'' changed its logo from red to black (attempting to dissociate the paper from the term "red top", meaning a sensationalist mass-market tabloid, although on [[April 6]] [[2005]] the red top came back, albeit most likely in honor of the [[Labour Party (UK)|Labour Party]] which it supports) and it has made efforts to concentrate on solid journalism rather than celebrity scandals—not always successfully.
It takes a left-of-centre editorial line. Under then-editor [[Piers Morgan]], it was the only tabloid newspaper in the UK to be hostile to the [[2003 invasion of Iraq]]. In [[May]] [[2004]], it published what it claimed were photos of British soldiers abusing Iraqi prisoners. The decision to publish the photos, later proved to be fake, led to the sacking of Morgan on [[14th May]] [[2004]].
The current editor is [[Richard Wallace (journalist)|Richard Wallace]].
== The Sunday Mirror ==
