Tabloid Nation is a book written by Chris Horrie which discusses the development of The Daily Mirror Newspaper over the years since it was first published. The Daily Mirror was introduced first in 1903. Horrie talks about in his book how the newspaper developed over the years by doing anything possible to increase their sells. The Daily Mirror began by sending reporters to the front line in World War 1 & 2 to produce live coverage news that would keep Britain updated. Their also introduced pictures in the Newspaper which benefited them by increasing their sells. Back in those day they were the first newspaper to allow women to voice their opinions, so that attracted a lot of female readers. Chris Horrie also mentions how correct news control the media in the UK. A lot of politics power being involved and talked about in the paper. In a way Tabloid Nation can relate to Citizen Kane as they would do anything to get some news and the fact that Charles Kane was involved in policitcs. Their strive to power took their sells to 2millions copiers per day in the UK which made them very successful just by doing anything possible to get their hands on some news.
