The Daily Mirror (Australia)

"The Daily Mirror" was an afternoon paper established by Ezra Norton in Sydney, Australia in 1941, gaining a licence from the Minister for Trade and Customs, Eric Harrison, despite wartime paper rationing. In October 1958, Norton and his partners sold his newspapers to the Fairfax group, which immediately sold it to Rupert Murdoch's News Ltd. [cite web

] It 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 paper was started by Frank McGuinness, father of journalist P. P. McGuinness.
