The Daily Mirror was an afternoon newspaper established by Ezra Norton in Sydney, in 1941. In October 1958, Norton and his partners sold his newspapers to the Fairfax group, which immediately sold the newspapers on to Rupert Murdoch's News Ltd. The Mirror was merged with its morning sister paper The Daily Telegraph on October 8, 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. The newspaper was started by Frank McGuinness, father of journalist P. P. McGuinness.
