The Daily Mirror (Australia)
''The Daily Mirror'' was an afternoon paper established by Ezra Norton in Sydney, Australia in 1941, gaining a licence from the Minister for Trade and Customs, Eric Harrison, despite wartime paper rationing. In October 1958, Norton and his partners sold his newspapers to the Fairfax Group, which immediately sold it to News Limited. It was merged with its morning sister paper ''The Daily Telegraph'' on 8 October 1990 to form ''The Daily Telegraph-Mirror'', which in 1996 reverted to ''The Daily Telegraph'', in the process removing the last vestige of the old ''Daily Mirror''.

In 1941, McGuinness was controversially accused of conveying betting odds before the start of a race at Ascot.

Newspapers can cover a wide variety of fields such as politics, business, sports, art, and science.
