Daily Mail [TV Advertisement]

Most of my news intake is gleaned from the radio, TV and off the internet. However, I do buy one newspaper a week and that is the Saturday edition of the Daily Mail. Let me put you straight, right away. I do not buy the Mail for its general news coverage or political and social comment. If I want that, I will buy a real newspaper like The Times. I get the Saturday edition for all the other bits that seem to fill up our week-end papers nowadays like the sport, money and finance, holiday and travel and most importantly the week-end supplement which includes all the TV listings.

Three words to cause fear in the heart of anyone who has a brain in their heads ‘The Daily Mail’. As the mass media sinks further and further into a quagmire of tabloidism, trivial hysteria, misinformation and reductionism one paper can be seen as leading this charge into the abyss.

This may be the 21st Century but the Daily Mail is definitely still stuck between 1880 and 1940. Every other article is about the Royal Family - what the Queen's son's daughter's dog did at the weekend and with who. Along with stories about the Royals, their political views are forced down the throats of the reader at every available opportunity and it angers me that think life revolves around royalty and politics.

The Daily Mail has been around for a long time, and has gained respect over the years. Being only eighteen it won’t come as a surprise to you that I am writing from a great deal of experience, but I have been forced to read a paper due to my A-Level politics course. Broadsheets aside, this is the most informative paper around, well, apart from those who want to read about sex scandals etc. I mean current affairs. The paper has numerous amounts of writers who write daily or weekly columns on a subject of their choice, often on Labour or Parliament in general, the Royals (Lynda Lee-Potter ... more
