Mail Online

MailOnline (also known as dailymail.co.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, part of Associated Newspapers Ltd.

Launched in 2003, DMG later made it a separately-managed publication in 2006 under the editorship of Martin Clarke. It is now the most visited English-language newspaper website in the world, with over 11.34m visitors daily in August 2014.

The website has an international readership, featuring separate home pages for the UK, USA, India and Australia. While the MailOnline maintains the conservative editorial stance of the print edition, much of the content featured on the website is produced exclusively for the MailOnline and is not published in the Daily Mail. It is known for its "sidebar of shame", a box listing celebrity misdemeanours. The Financial Times has suggested that "If you are tired of MailOnline, you are tired of Kim Kardashian’s life – and most readers are not"; conversely George Clooney has described it as "the worst kind of tabloid. One that makes up its facts to the detriment of its readers" after it published an untrue story about his fiancée's family.
