The Daily Express is a daily middle market newspaper in United Kingdom. It is the title of Express Newspapers. Daily Express was founded by Sir Arthur Pearson in 1900 . He sold the title and it was bought in 1916 by the future Lord Beaverbrook. It was one of the first papers known to have carried gossip, sports, and women's features, and the first newspaper in Britain to have a crossword.
"I run the paper for the purpose of making propaganda and with no other motive”
Lord Beaverbrook, former owner.
Beaverbrook was attacked in the House of Commons for running "a sustained vendetta" against the British Royal Family in the Express titles this is one of the things that has changed over the years as now the daily express sees the royal family in a positive light as they constantly have a front page praising the queen. The Duke of Edinburgh also described the Express as "a bloody awful newspaper. It is full of lies, scandal and imagination. It is a vicious paper”.news values:negativity,personality and proximity.
These comments show that Beaverbrook reached his goal for the purpose of the newspaper.
Express Newspapers was bought by Richard Desmond in 2000, publisher of various magazine titles including the celebrity magazine OK! . At the time, Desmond also owned several pornographic magazines such as Big Ones and Asian Babes. He is still currently the owner of the most popular pornographic television channel in the UK, Television X.
