MailOnline (also known as dailymail.co.uk and dailymail.com outside the UK) is the website of the Daily Mail, a tabloid newspaper in the United Kingdom, and of its sister paper The Mail on Sunday. MailOnline is a division of dmg media, which is owned by Daily Mail and General Trust plc.
Launched in 2003 by the Associated Newspapers’ digital division led by ANM managing director Andy Hart,[1] MailOnline was made into a separately managed site in 2006 under the editorship of Martin Clarke and general management of James Bromley.[2][3] It is now the most visited English-language newspaper website in the world,[4] with over 11.34m visitors daily in August 2014.[5][needs update]
Previously, there was an attempt to call into question the integrity of the website's journalism after NewsGuard's feature which is designed to fight what it describes as fake news, Microsoft Edge warned users against trusting content at the site, asserting that "this website generally fails to maintain basic standards of accuracy and accountability" and "has been forced to pay damages in numerous high-profile cases".[6] This warning has since been removed, and NewsGuard stated that the website "generally maintains basic standards of accuracy and accountability", though it "still failed to gather and present information responsibly".[7]
