In 1876 Jules Verne published his novel Michael Strogo, whose plot takes place during a ctional uprising and
war in Siberia. Verne included among the books characters a war correspondent of The Daily Telegraph, named
Harry Blountwho is depicted as an exceptionally dedicated, resourceful and brave journalist, taking great personal risks in order to follow closely the ongoing war and
bring accurate news of it to the Telegraph 's readership,
ahead of competing papers.[9]

The Daily Telegraph is a daily morning UK English language broadsheet newspaper, published in London by
Telegraph Media Group and distributed throughout the
United Kingdom and internationally. The newspaper was
founded by Arthur B. Sleigh in June 1855 as The Daily
Telegraph and Courier, and since 2004 has been owned
by David and Frederick Barclay. It had a daily circulation of 523,048 in March 2014,[3] down from 552,065 in
early 2013.[4] In comparison, The Times had an average
daily circulation of 400,060,[4] down to 394,448.[5]
The Daily Telegraph has a sister paper, The Sunday Telegraph. The two printed papers are run separately with
dierent editorial sta, but there is some cross-usage of
stories. News articles published in either, plus online
Telegraph articles, may also be published on the Telegraph Media Groups www.telegraph.co.uk website, all
under The Telegraph title.

History
Founding and early history (1855
1900)

In 1882 The Daily Telegraph moved to new Fleet Street premises,

which were pictured in the Illustrated London News.

The Daily Telegraph and Courier was founded by Colonel

Arthur B. Sleigh in June 1855 to air a personal grievance
against the future commander-in-chief of the British
Army, Prince George, Duke of Cambridge.[1][6] Joseph
Moses Levy, the owner of The Sunday Times, agreed to
print the newspaper, and the rst edition was published
on 29 June 1855. The paper cost 2d and was four pages
long.[1] It was not a success, and Sleigh was unable to pay
Levy the printing bill.[6] Levy took over the newspaper,
his aim being to produce a cheaper newspaper than his
main competitors in London, the Daily News and The
Morning Post, to expand the size of the overall market.

1.2 1900 to 1945

In 1908, Kaiser Wilhelm II of Germany gave a controversial interview to The Daily Telegraph that severely damaged Anglo-German relations and added to international
tensions in the build-up to World War I.[10][11] In 1928 the
son of the 1st Baron Burnham sold it to the 1st Viscount
Camrose, in partnership with his brother Viscount Kemsley and the 1st Baron Ilie. Both the Camrose (Berry)
and Burnham (Levy-Lawson) families remained involved

HISTORY

was retitled The Daily Telegraph and Morning Post before

it reverted to just The Daily Telegraph. In the late 1930s
Victor Gordon Lennox, The Telegraph's diplomatic editor, published an anti-appeasement private newspaper
The Whitehall Letter that received much of its information from leaks from Sir Robert Vansittart, the Permanent Under-Secretary of the Foreign Oce, and Reginald
Rex Leeper, the Foreign Oces Press Secretary.[12]
As an result, Gordon Lennox was monitored by MI5.[12]
In November 1940, with Fleet Street subjected to almost daily bombing raids by the Luftwae, The Telegraph started printing in Manchester at Kemsley House
(now The Printworks entertainment venue), which was
run by Camroses brother Kemsley. Manchester quite
often printed the entire run of The Telegraph when its
Fleet Street oces were under threat. The name Kemsley House was changed to Thomson House in 1959. In
1986 printing of Northern editions of the Daily and Sunday Telegraph moved to Traord Park and in 2008 to
Newsprinters at Knowsley, Liverpool.
During the Second World War, The Daily Telegraph
covertly helped in the recruitment of code-breakers for
Bletchley Park. The ability to solve The Telegraph's
crossword in under 12 minutes was considered a recruitment test. The newspaper was asked to organise a crossword competition, after which each of the successful participants was contacted and asked if they would be prepared to undertake a particular type of work as a contribution to the war eort. The competition itself was won
by F H W Hawes of Dagenham who nished the cross- The Daily Telegraph building in 1974

1945 to 1986

1986 to 2004 the Black/Hollinger

years

Canadian businessman Conrad Black, through companies

controlled by him, bought the Telegraph Group in 1986.
Black, through his holding company Ravelston Corporation, owned 78% of Hollinger Inc. which in turn owned
30% of Hollinger International. Hollinger International
in turn owned the Telegraph Group and other publications such as the Chicago Sun-Times, the Jerusalem Post
and The Spectator.
On 18 January 2004, Black was dismissed as chairman
of the Hollinger International board over allegations of
nancial wrongdoing. Black was also sued by the company. Later that day it was reported that the Barclay
brothers had agreed to purchase Blacks 78% interest in
Hollinger Inc. for 245m, giving them a controlling interest in the company, and to buy out the minority shareholders later. However, a lawsuit was led by the Hollinger
International board to try to block Black from selling his
shares in Hollinger Inc. until an investigation into his
dealings was completed. Black led a countersuit but,

eventually, United States judge Leo Strine sided with the

Hollinger International board and blocked Black from
selling his Hollinger Inc. shares to the twins. On 7 March
2004, the twins announced that they were launching another bid, this time just for The Daily Telegraph and its
Sunday sister paper rather than all of Hollinger Inc. Current owner of the Daily Express, Richard Desmond, was
also interested in purchasing the paper, selling his interest
in several pornographic magazines to nance the initiative. Desmond withdrew in March 2004, when the price
climbed above 600m,[14] as did Daily Mail and General
Trust plc a few months later on 17 June.[15]

1.5 2004 to present the Barclay years

The Barclay brothers purchased the Telegraph Group for
around 665m in late June 2004. Sir David Barclay suggested that The Daily Telegraph might in the future no
longer be the house newspaper of the Conservatives. In
an interview with The Guardian he said, Where the government are right we shall support them. The editorial
board endorsed the Conservative Party in the 2005 general election. 15 November 2004 was the tenth anniversary of the launch of The Telegraph's website Electronic
Telegraph, now re-launched as www.telegraph.co.uk . On

Newsprinters. In May 2009, the daily and Sunday editions published details of MPs expenses. This led to a
number of high-prole resignations from both the ruling
Labour administration and the Conservative opposition.
In June 2014, The Telegraph was criticised by Private
Eye for its policy of replacing experienced journalists
and news managers with less-experienced sta and search
engine optimisers.[19] On 10 September 2014, the Telegraph Media Group advertised in the Daily Telegraph
for a new Head of Interactive Journalism stating candidates should have demonstrable interest in news and
journalism (previous newsroom experience is not needed
however)".[20]

1.5.1

Speculation that news coverage was inuenced

by advertisers

In July 2014, the Daily Telegraph was criticised for carrying links on its website to pro-Kremlin articles supplied by a Russian state-funded publication that downplayed any Russian involvement in the downing of the
passenger jet Malaysia Airlines Flight 17.[21] These had
featured on its website as part of a commercial deal, but
were later removed.[22] The paper is paid 900,000 a year
to include the supplement Russia Beyond the Headlines,
a publication sponsored by the Rossiyskaya Gazeta, the
Russian governments ocial newspaper. It is paid a further 750,000 a year for a similar arrangement with the
Chinese state in relation to the pro-Beijing China Watch
supplement.[23]

2 Political stance
The Daily Telegraph has been politically conservative in
modern times.[26] The personal links between the papers editors and the leadership of the Conservative Party,
along with the papers generally right wing stance and inuence over Conservative activists, have resulted in the
paper commonly being referred to, especially in Private
Eye, as the Torygraph.[26] Even when Conservative support was shown to have slumped in the opinion polls
and Labour became ascendant in them (particularly when
leader Tony Blair rebranded the party as "New Labour"
on becoming leader after the death of John Smith in
1994), the newspaper remained loyal to the Conservatives. This loyalty continued after Labour ousted the
Conservatives from power by a landslide election result
in 1997, and in the face of Labour election wins in 2001
and the third successive Labour election win in 2005.
The Daily Telegraph is sharply critical of the Scottish
National Party. During the 2014 Scottish Independence
Referendum the paper supported the Better Together 'No'
Campaign. The Telegraph has published articles critical
of Scottish political behaviour.[27][28][29][30]

3 Sister publications

3.1

The Sunday Telegraph

Main article: The Sunday Telegraph

The Daily Telegraph's sister Sunday paper was founded
in 1961. The writer Sir Peregrine Worsthorne is probably the best known journalist associated with the title
(196197), eventually being editor for three years from
1986. In 1989 the Sunday title was briey merged into
a seven-day operation under Max Hastingss overall control. In 2005 the paper was revamped, with Stella being
added to the more traditional television and radio section. It costs 2.00 and includes separate Money, Living,
Sport and Business supplements. Circulation of The Sunday Telegraph in July 2010 was 505,214 (ABC)

3.2

The Young Telegraph

The Young Telegraph was a weekly section of The Daily

Telegraph published as a 14-page supplement in the
weekend edition of the newspaper. The Young Telegraph featured a mixture of news, features, cartoon strips
and product reviews aimed at 812-year-olds. It was
edited by Damien Kelleher (199397) and Kitty Melrose
(19971999). Launched in 1990, the award-winning supplement also ran original serialised stories featuring popular brands such as Young Indiana Jones and the British
childrens sitcom Maid Marian and Her Merry Men. In
1995, an interactive spin-o called Electronic Young Telegraph was launched on oppy disk. Described as an interactive computer magazine for children, Electronic Young
Telegraph was edited by Adam Tanswell, who led the
re-launch of the product on CD-Rom in 1998.[31] Electronic Young Telegraph featured original content including interactive quizzes, informative features and computer games, as well as entertainment news and reviews.
It was later re-branded as T:Drive in 1999.

Television service run by The Daily Telegraph and the

Telegraph.co.uk became the most popular UK newspaper
site in April 2008.[38] It was overtaken by Guardian.co.uk
in April 2009 and later by Mail Online.[39] As of December 2010, Telegraph.co.uk is now the third most
visited British newspaper website with 1.7 million daily
browsers compared to 2.3 million for Guardian.co.uk
and nearly 3 million for Mail Online.[40]
In November 2012 international customers accessing the
Telegraph.co.uk site would have to sign up for a subscription package. Visitors had access to 20 free articles a
month before having to subscribe for unlimited access.
In March 2013 the pay meter system was also rolled out
in the UK.

3.3.1 History
The website was launched, under the name electronic telegraph at midday on 15 November 1994 at the headquarters of The Daily Telegraph at Canary Wharf in London
Docklands. It was Europes rst daily web-based newspaper. Initially the site published only the top stories from
the print edition of the newspaper but it gradually increased its coverage until virtually all of the newspaper
was carried online and the website was also publishing
original material. The website, hosted on a Sun Microsystems Sparc 20 server and connected via a 64 kbit/s leased
line from Demon Internet, was edited by Ben Rooney.
Key personnel behind the launch of the site were Matthew
Doull and Saul Klein and the then marketing manager of
The Daily Telegraph, Hugo Drayton, and the webmaster
Fiona Carter. Drayton later became managing director
of the newspaper.
An early coup for the site was the publication of articles by Ambrose Evans-Pritchard on Bill Clinton and the
Whitewater controversy. The availability of the articles
online brought a large American audience to the site.
In 1997, the Clinton administration issued a 331-page
report that accused Evans-Pritchard of peddling rightwing inventions. Derek Bishton, who by then had succeeded Rooney as editor, later wrote: In the days before ET it would have been highly unlikely that anyone in
the US would have been aware of Evans-Pritchards work
and certainly not to the extent that the White House
would be forced to issue such a lengthy rebuttal.[41] Bishton, who is now consulting editor for Telegraph Media
Group, was followed as editor by Richard Burton, who
was made redundant in August 2006. Edward Roussel
replaced Burton.

My Telegraph

My Telegraph oers a platform for readers to have their

own blog, save articles, and network with other readers. Launched in May 2007, My Telegraph won a Cross

IFRA in October 2007.[42] One of the judges, Robert
Cauthorn, described the project as the best deployment
of blogging yet seen in any newspaper anywhere in the

6 Charity and fundraising work

In 1979, following a letter in The Daily Telegraph and a
Government report highlighting the shortfall in care available for premature babies, Bliss, the special care baby
charity, was founded. In 2009, as part of the Bliss 30th
birthday celebrations, the charity was chosen as one of
four beneciaries of the newspapers Christmas Charity
Appeal. In February 2010 a cheque was presented to
Bliss for 120,000.

prole resignations from both the ruling Labour administration and the Conservative opposition.
In December 2010 Telegraph reporters posing as constituents secretly recorded Business Secretary Vince Cable. In an undisclosed part of the transcript given to the
BBC's Robert Peston by a whistleblower unhappy that the
Telegraph had not published Cables comments in full,
Cable stated in reference to Rupert Murdoch's News Corporation takeover bid for BSkyB, I have declared war on
Mr Murdoch and I think we are going to win.[43] Following this revelation, Cable had his responsibility for media
aairs including ruling on Murdochs takeover plans
withdrawn from his role as business secretary.[44] In May
2011 the Press Complaints Commission upheld a complaint regarding the Telegraph's use of subterfuge: On
this occasion, the commission was not convinced that the
public interest was such as to justify proportionately this
level of subterfuge.[45] In July 2011 a rm of private
investigators hired by the Telegraph to track the source
of the leak concluded strong suspicion that two former
Telegraph employees who had moved to News International, one of them Will Lewis, had gained access to the
transcript and audio les and leaked them to Peston.[46]
The Daily Telegraph has published premature obituaries
for Cockie Hoogterp, the second wife of Baron Blixen,[47]
Dave Swarbrick in 1999,[47] and Dorothy Southworth
Ritter, the widow of Tex Ritter and mother of John Ritter,
in August 2001.[47]

Awards

At the 2010 British Press Awards The Telegraph was

named the National Newspaper of the Year for its coverage of the 2009 expenses scandal (named Scoop of
the Year), with William Lewis winning Journalist of
the Year.[48] The Telegraph won Team of the Year in
2004 for its coverage of the Iraq War.[48] The paper also
won Columnist of the Year three years running from
2002 to 2004: Zo Heller (2002), Robert Harris (2003)
