The Daily Telegraph, known online and elsewhere as The Telegraph, is a British daily broadsheet newspaper published in London by Telegraph Media Group and distributed in the United Kingdom and internationally. It was founded by Arthur B. Sleigh in 1855 as The Daily Telegraph and Courier.[7] The Telegraph is considered a newspaper of record in the UK.[8][9] The paper's motto, "Was, is, and will be", was included in its emblem which was used for over a century starting in 1858.[1]

In 2013, The Daily Telegraph and The Sunday Telegraph, which started in 1961, were merged, although the latter retains its own editor.[10] It is politically conservative and supports the Conservative Party.[8] It was politically moderately liberal before the late 1870s.[11]

The Telegraph has had a number of news scoops, including the outbreak of World War II by rookie reporter Clare Hollingworth, described as "the scoop of the century",[12] the 2009 parliamentary expenses scandal – which led to a number of high-profile political resignations and for which it was named 2009 British Newspaper of the Year[13] – its 2016 undercover investigation on the England football manager Sam Allardyce,[14] and the Lockdown Files in 2023.[15]

A trusted paper once considered on the centre-right of politics, the Telegraph has tacked ever further to the fringes in recent years, embracing populist-leaning leaders and their ideas. … Media observers and multiple former Telegraph journalists told the Guardian how it had moved away from its traditional middle-of-the-road conservatism to a far harder, often rightwing populist-leaning paper.
