history
The Daily Express was founded in 1900 by Arthur Pearson (1866–1921) and was intended to imitate the Daily Mail . The well-known journalist and propagandist Sefton Delmer headed the foreign affairs section of what was at times the world's largest newspaper.
The Daily Express has been owned by Richard Desmond since 2000 . In early 2015, the Daily Express broke off its decades of support for the Conservative Party and switched to the line of the UK Independence Party (UKIP), which had become the strongest party in the UK in the 2014 European elections . The publisher Richard Desmond is one of UKIP's major donors.
Edition development
The Daily Express has experienced a steeper decline in circulation than any other UK national newspaper. From the mid-1950s to the mid-1960s, the circulation was around 4.5 million copies. In 2016 it had fallen to around 415,000 copies. That is only around 9% of the circulation 50 years ago. The hope of being able to stabilize the circulation by moving in line with the UKIP has not (yet) been fulfilled.
The Daily Express in the revisionist interpretation of history
In German-speaking countries, the Daily Express is also known from a headline on March 24, 1933. It was called "Judea Declares War on Germany" (" Judea declares war on Germany "). In the right-wing extremist revisionist scene today, this is sometimes passed off as a “Jewish declaration of war”.
