The Daily Telegraph (Australia)
The Daily Telegraph is a
tabloid newspaper published in
Sydney,
New South Wales, by
Rupert Murdoch's
News Corporation.
The Tele, as it is affectionately known, was founded in 1879 and was a staple in Sydney print media right up until 1990 when it
merged with its afternoon sister paper
The Daily Mirror to form
The Daily Telegraph-Mirror with morning and afternoon editions though the afternoon editions were later discontinued.
The new paper continued in this vein until January 1996 when reader pressure for a shorter title caused the name of the paper to revert to
The Daily Telegraph, despite staff concerns that former
Mirror readers would now feel disenfranchised. The circulation of the newspaper in the first half of 2004 was around 409,000 per day, the largest of a Sydney newspaper.
Like its
British namesake, the paper maintains a strong
right wing conservative lean, with columnists such as
Piers Akerman. For that reason, many of Sydney's
left-leaning individuals have been known to call the tabloid
The Daily Terrorgraph or
The Terror,
The Telecrap and
The Daily Bogan - the latter making reference to the socio-economic class of the sterotypical reader.
Its
Melbourne counterpart is the
The Herald Sun.
The Saturday edition is called
The Saturday Daily Telegraph and the Sunday edition is called
The Sunday Telegraph.
