The Daily Telegraph, known online and elsewhere as The Telegraph, is a British daily conservative 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 & Courier. The Telegraph is considered a newspaper of record.[6] 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]

The paper had a circulation of 363,183 in December 2018,[7] having declined almost 80% from 1.4 million in 1980.[8] It descended further until it withdrew from newspaper circulation audits in 2019.[not verified in body] Its sister paper, The Sunday Telegraph, which started in 1961, had a circulation of 281,025 as of December 2018.[7] The two sister newspapers are run separately, with different editorial staff,[9] but there is cross-usage of stories. It is politically conservative and supports the Conservative Party.

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",[10] 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[11] – its 2016 undercover investigation on the England football manager Sam Allardyce,[12] and the Lockdown Files in 2023.[13]
