The Daily Telegraph

The Daily Telegraph, often just called 'The Tele' by those who follow it closely, has been a fixture of Australian news for over a century. Founded way back in 1879, it's published six days a week, Monday through Saturday, by Nationwide News Pty Limited, a key part of Rupert Murdoch's News Corp Australia empire. You'll find it covering Sydney and spreading its reach across New South Wales, the ACT, and even parts of South East Queensland. While its print edition is a familiar sight, its online presence is massive, forming a big part of the news.com.au network, which consistently ranks among the top Australian news websites.

It’s a paper that really digs into Sydney life, with a focus on local politics, crime stories, and all the sports action. This tabloid style has made it a distinctive voice, though it's also meant it's been on the receiving end of public scrutiny. Back in 2013, a poll suggested it was the least trusted major newspaper among those surveyed, which tells you something about how different people view its reporting. Still, its circulation figures and website traffic show it remains a major player in how Australians get their daily news.[edit]
