The Daily Telegraph is an Australian daily newspaper published in Sydney , New South Wales by Nationwide News , a subsidiary of News Corporation . The tabloid is published daily in tabloid format (40 cm × 29 cm). The Sunday edition of the paper appears as The Sunday Telegraph .
history
The Tele , or rather ironically Daily Terror , as the newspaper is colloquially known, was founded in 1879 and was one of the most popular morning newspapers in Sydney until 1990 when it became The Daily Telegraph with its sister newspaper, The Daily Mirror -Mirror merged. There were morning and evening editions, but the latter were later removed from the program. The Sun from the Fairfax publishing house , which once competed with the Mirror on the evening market, disappeared from the market without replacement at the end of the 1980s. The market for evening newspapers only revived with the ultra-light boulevard postille mX , which has been distributed to commuters free of charge since 2005 and is also produced by the Murdoch empire.
The newspaper ran under this name until January 1996, when it was renamed The Daily Telegraph again, despite concerns that former readers of the "Mirror" would now turn away from the newspaper . However, due to its unique position in the Sydney newspaper market, this risk did not really exist. With 409,000 copies sold per day in the first half of 2004, Tele is by far the best-selling newspaper in the Sydney area.
politics
The Telegraph is widely considered to be conservative and nationalist. He primarily deals with issues such as violence, but also education. Furthermore, he takes an ambivalent position on the European Union.
According to a Roy Morgan International media poll , 40% of journalists viewed News Limited newspapers as the most partisan in Australia. When asked which newspapers in their opinion were inaccurate and unfair, the readers' response was the following: Daily Telegraph (9%), Herald-Sun (11%) and “All of them” (16%).
