The Daily Telegraph
The Daily Telegraph, established in 1855, is the UK’s biggest selling quality newspaper, with an audited circulation of circa 900,000 (Source: ABC, average daily circulation November 2006 – April 2007). Having maintained its broadsheet format, the newspaper offers home and international news coverage, a stand-alone business section which is highly respected in the city, and a compact daily sport section, full of world-class opinion.
The Daily Telegraph has received many recent awards including Best Newspaper Sport Coverage from the Sports Industry Awards in March 2007; Jan Moir was awarded as Best Interviewer by the British Press Awards in 2007; while Matt Pritchett won Cartoonist of the Year for his ‘Matt’ cartoon at the What the Papers Say 50th Anniversary Awards in December 2006. Furthermore, The Daily Telegraph was found to be the leading newspaper for reporting wars around the world by the International Committee of the Red Cross in December 2006; The Daily Telegraph front page was voted front page of the century by viewers of Newsnight for coverage of the September 11th attacks as part of its ‘Big- Read-All- About-It’ initiative in May 2006.
The Daily Telegraph is known for its outstanding line-up of distinguished journalists and columnists, who lend the paper its distinctive voice and personality. Delivering lively and challenging comment with wit, insight and rigour, The Daily Telegraph boasts such unique contributors as Boris Johnson, Craig Brown, and WF Deedes, columnist and former editor who first joined The Daily Telegraph in 1937. Its sport team includes the football writer Henry Winter, as well as numerous sporting luminaries such as Alan Hansen, Brian Moore, Zara Phillips and James Cracknell.
The Daily Telegraph business section is famous for its accurate, bold and insightful coverage, provided by an award-winning team of journalists including the business editor-at-large Jeff Randall. Fashion director, Hilary Alexander, is a stalwart of the front row and brings her flair and experience to the fashion pages both in the newspaper and now online at Telegraph.co.uk, where her video reports from fashion’s most glamorous shows have become must-see viewing. The Daily Telegraph has been home to the Matt cartoon since 1988, the creation of the award-winning cartoonist Matt Pritchett. One of the most popular features of the business section is its Alex cartoon. Held in great affection within the business community, Alex comments on the wheeling and dealing of the business world, winning awards and accolades for his creators.
In 2006, the Telegraph Media Group embarked on a momentous shift in the way news is published. Where previously stories were broken in the newspaper and subsequently posted online, stories are now reported as they happen and published across several platforms. In order to provide the state-of-the-art newsroom required for this new approach, the Telegraph moved tonew offices in central London. It now occupies one of the biggest open office spaces in Europe, accommodating the new ‘hub and spoke’ editorial system.
This move also reflects the Telegraph’s commitment to offering its customers quality news content when – and how – they want it. Since launching its daily podcast in November 2005 – the first newspaper to do so – the Telegraph has constantly innovated in bringing new features to its readers in the digital environment. Telegraph Talk and Telegraph TV provide quality broadcast content at Telegraph.co.uk, with recent highlights including Simon Hughes’ video reports from the Ashes series in Australia, and Rory Bremner’s ‘Real Budget Speech’, created to mark Gordon Brown’s last Budget and exclusive to Telegraph TV. Telegraph TV also produces ‘The Business Show’, a programme broadcast online at Telegraph.co.uk every weekday. Anchored by the Telegraph Business editors, this is a topical review of the day’s business stories with comment, analysis and guest commentators.
As Telegraph.co.uk continues to bring new audiences to the Telegraph portfolio, so a constant programme of product development is helping to build distinct communities of interest on the website. May 2007 saw the launch of the brand’s online channel dedicated to environmental issues – Telegraph.co.uk/earth. The channel aims to provide an informed view of key issues alongside tips and advice for readers on how to make environmentally sound life choices.
The Daily Telegraph has initiated partnerships with many brands to provide rewarding experiences. Recent collaborations in the area of children’s literature have produced highly successful cover-mount giveaways, including the works of Beatrix Potter, Roald Dahl and Dr Seuss. This commitment to children’s reading is something the Telegraph continues to support; Last September saw The Daily Telegraph Bath Festival of Children’s Literature staged for the first time. The Daily Telegraph creates dedicated events for its customers, one highlight being a night of ballet at the Royal Opera House exclusively for Telegraph readers. Other events which the Telegraph has supported include Chelsea Flower Show, the BAFTA Awards, and the recent stage production of Jersey Boys which is fresh from its award winning run in New York.
