the daily mirror is a popular newspaper, so more focused on gossip/ drama then informing people of politics
"letter from the editor"
The Mirror is known for its strong social conscience. More than a century ago we led the campaign for more lifeboats on ships after the deaths of the poorest on board the Titanic. We campaigned against the ivory trade and seal clubbing and helped create the World Wildlife Fund.
Our battle alongside families of the 96 victims of the Hillsborough Disaster changed the course of history.
More recently we waged a campaign to save the British steel industry and explored the current homelessness crisis.
A change in the law on organ donation, which could save 500 lives every year, is due to come into force in 2020 thanks to our long-running campaign.
And our annual Pride of Britain Awards, celebrating the ordinary people of this country who have achieved extraordinary things, reflects the
very best of the Mirror and its values.
The Mirror has always sought to entertain its readers as well as inform them. Our show business and television coverage is among the best in the industry. We have led the way in
showbiz exclusive stories over the years.
And of course we are the home of sport - particularly football. Our coverage of Premier and lower league clubs is extensive and regularly

The newspaper industry has faced economic pressure in recent years as the sale of print copies has steadily fallen. Newspapers like the Daily Mirror, which are part of larger conglomerates, are more protected from economic risks. Some newspaper titles have introduced subscriptions for some or all of their digital products. For example, there is a subscription for the tablet version of the Daily Mirror.
