History

The Daily Mirror was launched by Alfred Harmsworth "for gentlewomen" in 1903. The company was first listed on the London Stock Exchange on 2 December 1953.

In 1958 the International Publishing Company (IPC) acquired Mirror Group Newspapers, but IPC was in turn taken over by publishing giant Reed International in 1970. In 1984 Pergamon Holdings, a company owned by Robert Maxwell, acquired the Daily Mirror from Reed International. The Company was relisted as Mirror Group in 1991.
