-'''''The Daily Telegraph''''' is a [[tabloid]] [[newspaper]] published in [[Sydney]], [[New South Wales]], by [[Nationwide News]], part of [[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 [[merger|merged]] with its afternoon sister paper ''[[The Daily Mirror (Australia)|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 {{Fact|date=July 2008}}, the largest of a Sydney newspaper.
-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''.
-== Politics ==
-The ''Telegraph's'' most high-profile columnists, among them [[Piers Akerman]], are politically conservative. The ''Telegraph'' has a particular focus on issues such as crime, and primary and secondary education. {{Fact|date=June 2007}}
-A [[Roy Morgan International|Roy Morgan]] media credibility survey found that 40 per cent of journalists viewed News Limited newspapers as Australia's most partisan media outlet, ahead of the [[Australian Broadcasting Corporation]] on 25 per cent. The survey found that readers took a generally dim view of journalists. In response to the question "Which newspapers do you believe do not accurately and fairly report the news?", the ''Daily Telegraph'' came third (9%) behind the ''Herald-Sun'' (11%) and "All of them" (16%).<ref>[http://www.roymorgan.com/resources/pdf/papers/20040903.pdf Why Australians Don’t Respect The Media]</ref>
-== Controversies ==
-=== John Brogden allegations  ===
-The ''Telegraph'' was widely criticised for its coverage of former New South Wales [[Liberal Party of Australia|Liberal]] leader [[John Brogden]]. After Brogden resigned in 2005, the newspaper ran a front-page headline, "Brogden's Sordid Past: Disgraced Liberal leader damned by secret shame file," detailing past allegations of misconduct by Brogden. The following day, Brogden attempted suicide at his electoral office.
-[[Rodney Tiffen]], an academic at the [[University of Sydney]], described the newspaper's coverage as an example of "hyena journalism", judging Brogden's personal life to be off limits following his withdrawal from public life.<ref>[http://www.onlineopinion.com.au/view.asp?article=189 The Daily Telegraph, John Brogden and hyena journalism]</ref>
-Editor [[David Penberthy]] claimed that his source was from inside the [[Liberal Party of Australia|Liberal Party]] and that none of the events would have happened if no one leaked from inside the party. <ref>[http://www.abc.net.au/news/newsitems/200508/s1450020.htm Editor rejects attack over Brogden coverage. 31/08/2005. ABC News Online<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref>
-=== Mount Druitt High School ===
-On 8 January 1997, the ''Telegraph'' published the headline, "The class we failed" concerning was the Year 12 class at [[Mount Druitt]] High School in outer [[Western Sydney]] in which no student scored a Tertiary Entrance Rank above 50 (the top mark is 100). Although the article made clear that the newspaper believed that the state had failed the students, many accused the ''Telegraph'' of branding the students themselves as failures and showing a full year photo identifying students.
-The story led to a renewed focus on the quality of public schools in [[Western Sydney]]. and precipitated several reviews of schooling in the area. <ref>[http://www.pub-ed-inquiry.org/reports/final_reports/03/Ch4_22.html New South Wales Public Education Inquiry: Final Reports: Second Report: 22: Chapter 4: Impact of the Restructuring of Public Education in NSW since 1988<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> But for many, the headline highlighted problems with ''interpreting'' [[Higher School Certificate]] results and the accompanying TER. <ref>[http://www.cis.org.au/Policy/Spring98/spr9803.htm Policy Spring (Sept-Nov) 1998<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref>
-The students successfully sued the newspaper in the Supreme Court for defamation. The ''Telegraph'' subsequently apologised and settled for damages out of court. <ref name="autogenerated2">[http://www.nswtf.org.au/edu_online/13/gdruitt.html NSW Teachers Federation: Education Online: November 2000: Telegraph apologises to Mt Druitt students<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> The published apology stated:
-{{cquote|In that story The Daily Telegraph suggested, among other things, that the students in the class of 1996 failed their HSC. This is wrong and The Daily Telegraph withdraws any such suggestion. The Daily Telegraph also withdraws any suggestion that those students acted without discipline or commitment in their HSC studies. "he students in the HSC class of 1996 successfully completed their HSC and contrary to the suggestions in the original article many of those students performed very well scoring high marks in the HSC.The Daily Telegraph apologises to each student in the class of 1996 at Mt Druitt. It also apologises to their parents and friends for all the hurt, harm and suffering it has caused them. <ref name="autogenerated2" />}}
-Later, criticising defamation laws, News Limited CEO [[John Hartigan]] said that {{cquote|The words in the story pointed to deep-seated problems within the education system, but a barrister convinced the jury that, regardless of the words before him, what we really meant to say was that the entire class was too stupid to pass the HSC."<ref>[http://www.presscouncil.org.au/pcsite/apcnews/feb04/address.htmlhttp://www.presscouncil.org.au/pcsite/apcnews/feb04/address.html Press freedom under attack]</ref>}}
-=== Call Centres in India ===
-In October 2006, the Telegraph claimed in a front page article that [[Australia and New Zealand Banking Group|ANZ]] were using call centres in [[Bangalore]], [[India]]. The paper even sent a journalist to Bangalore, Luke McIlveen, and a photographer to verify this claim.
-<ref>[http://www.abc.net.au/mediawatch/transcripts/s1766278.htm Media Watch: Front Page - Bad Line For Bangalore (16/10/2006)<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> ANZ strongly denied the claim, stating that they do not employ overseas call centre staff in India.<ref>http://www.abc.net.au/mediawatch/transcripts/ep36anz2.pdf</ref> Subsequently, ANZ "pulled all of its advertising from [[News Limited]], including [[Foxtel]] and News websites. Our advertising with News Limited is worth $4 to 5 million and accounts for about 10 per cent of ANZ's advertising budget".<ref>http://www.abc.net.au/mediawatch/transcripts/ep36anz3.pdf</ref>
-Editor [[David Penberthy]] leapt to McIlveen's defence saying that McIlveen was not to blame at all and that it was Penberthy's fault.<ref>[http://www.theaustralian.news.com.au/story/0,20867,20565059-22822,00.html The Age of disbelief | The Australian<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref>
-===Plagiarism===
-Former Telegraph journalist, Matt Sun, was caught out for significant and ongoing [[plagiarism]] by the TV program ''[[Media Watch (TV program)|Media Watch]]''.<ref>[http://www.abc.net.au/mediawatch/transcripts/170602_s3.htm Media Watch | Armed Holdup<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref><ref name="autogenerated1">[http://www.abc.net.au/mediawatch/transcripts/111102_s12.htm Media Watch | Campbell Reid's Standards<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> Editor at the time, Campbell Reid, refused to acknowledge the accusations of plagiarism, instead choosing to attack ''Media Watch''.<ref>[http://abc.net.au/mediawatch/stories/popups/reid.htm Media Watch |<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref>  Subsequently, Sun was sent to [[London]] to work for the tabloid newspaper [[The Sun (newspaper)|The Sun]].<ref name="autogenerated1" /> Sun now writes for the free afternoon tabloid [[MX (newspaper)|Mx]] in Sydney. This is seen as a demotion as he has been unable to gain employment back at a major newspaper.
