profile
The Telegraph Group has a total market share of around 7 percent in Great Britain and was previously part of the Hollinger International group . Plans by the German Axel Springer publishing house ( Die Welt , picture ) from May 2004 to take over the Daily Telegraph together with Virgin founder Richard Branson have failed because of different asking prices. The Scottish billionaires Sir Frederick and Sir David Barclay were awarded the contract . The Barclay twins paid 665 million pounds sterling for this in June 2004, the equivalent of around one billion euros.
With an average circulation of 783,210 copies, the Daily Telegraph was one of the best-selling British newspapers in January 2009. Her annual profit is approximately £ 30 million. The Daily Telegraph is supplemented by the Sunday newspaper The Sunday Telegraph , and both are consolidated by the weekly newspaper and website The Telegraph . Another title of the group is The Spectator magazine .
The Daily Telegraph is traditionally conservative and politically close to the Conservative Party (Tories), so it was named Torygraph by the British satirical magazine Private Eye . In a 2005 opinion poll about which party they would vote for in the next general election, the majority of Telegraph readers rated the Conservative Party at 64%, which put it well ahead of all other newspapers.
The Telegraph is a founding member of the European Dailies Alliance (EDA), in which the daily newspapers Die Welt , Le Figaro (France) and ABC (Spain) collaborate on international reporting.

HSBC bank reporting scandal
In February 2015, the Telegraph's senior policy commentator Peter Orbone announced in protest against a lack of independence in reporting and, according to Orbone, “fraud against the reader”. As a reason, he cited, among other things, several prevented critical reports about the bank HSBC , most recently in connection with the (not reported by the Telegraph) Swiss Leaks revelations.
The background to this euphemistic non-reporting of the HSBC bank was that the two owners of The Daily Telegraph, the brothers Frederick and David Barclay, received a loan of £ 250 million from this bank on December 14, 2012 for the parcel delivery service Yodel, the wrote losses back then and also belonged to the two Barclay brothers. The loss of the package delivery service Yodel in fiscal 2013 was £ 112 million. As security for the loan, the bank took over the management of Yodel.
