The Belfast Telegraph is a daily newspaper published in Belfast, Northern Ireland, by Independent News & Media, which also publishes the Irish Independent, the Sunday Independent and various other newspapers and magazines in Ireland. Its editor is Eoin Brannigan.[1] Reflecting its unionist tradition, the paper has historically been "favoured by the Protestant population",[2] while also being read within Catholic nationalist communities in Northern Ireland.[3][4][5]
History
It was first published as the Belfast Evening Telegraph on 1 September 1870 by brothers William and George Baird. Its first edition cost half a penny and ran to four pages covering the Franco-Prussian War and local news.
The evening edition of the newspaper was originally called the "Sixth Late", and "Sixth Late Tele" was a familiar cry made by vendors in Belfast city centre in the past. Local editions were published for distribution to Enniskillen, Dundalk, Newry, and Derry.Шаблон:Citation needed
Its competitors are The News Letter and The Irish News, and local editions of London-based red tops also compete in this market, in some cases selling at a cheaper price than the "Tele".Шаблон:Citation needed
Sometimes described as having "unionist leanings",[6] and operating an editorial policy supportive of "moderate unionism",[7] the Belfast Telegraph was bought by the Dublin-based Independent News & Media group in March 2000.[8]
The Belfast Telegraph was entirely broadsheet until 19 February 2005, when the Saturday morning edition was introduced and all Saturday editions were converted to compact.[9] The weekday morning compact edition was launched on 22 March 2005.[10]
In 2015, the Telegraph launched the magazine supplement Family Life.[11]
The paper now publishes two editions daily, Belfast Telegraph final edition and the North West Telegraph which is distributed in Derry.
Its editor, since April 2020, is Eoin Brannigan.[1]
Awards
The Belfast Telegraph was named as Best UK Regional Newspaper of the Year 2012 by the Society of Editors Regional Press Awards.[12]
Circulation
Reflecting a decline in newspaper sales generally, circulation of the Belfast Telegraph has declined as of the early 21st century, from 109,571 for the period July to December 2002,[13] to 31,340 for the same period in 2019.[14] Шаблон:Bar chart
