Mirrorpix unveils new site
Mirrorpix the photographic archive of the Daily Mirror newspaper and its sister titles The Daily Herald, Sunday Mirror, The People, Daily Record and Sunday Mail, has unveiled a new website located online at www.mirrorpix.com. The new site allows buyers to download hi-res images dating back to 1903 from its archive covering every major personality and event since that time. The Daily Mirror was first published in 1903 as a journal for women. After initial success, sales declined and the owner, Alfred Harmsworth, took the bold decision to print photographs as an additional means of conveying the news. With this innovation the age of photojournalism was born and the new illustrated pictorial Daily Mirror became the first newspaper in the world to publish photography. The Daily Record and The Daily Herald were also of early foundation, established in 1895 and 1912 respectively and both making extensive use of photography once the Mirror had shown the way.
