Our take
The Telegraph was the first newspaper to report on a number of notable news scoops, including the outbreak of World War II and the 2009 MP expenses scandal. Now, the Telegraph Media Group has grown into a multimedia news brand, providing subscribers with access to journalism across The Telegraph website and app, The Daily Telegraph and The Sunday Telegraph newspapers.
The brand hit a £33.3m operating profit in 2021, indicating the group has managed overcome the difficulties print media has struggled with since the turn of the millennium. Adapting to digital distribution has earned it over 100 million individual readers a month globally, though the Daily Telegraph remains Britain's best-selling print broadsheet.
People's increased curiosity in current affairs has been the driving force behind The Telegraphs phenomenal growth and the company continues to invest in top-notch journalism.
