The Daily Telegraph, known online as The Telegraph, is a national
British daily broadsheet newspaper published in London by Telegraph
Media Group and distributed across the United Kingdom and
internationally.It was founded by Arthur B. Sleigh in 1855 as Daily
Telegraph & Courier. The Telegraph has been described as a newspaper
of record and generally had an international reputation in the
twentieth century for quality, described by Amol Rajan as "one of the
world's great titles".The paper's motto, "Was, is, and will be",
appears in the editorial pages and has featured in every edition of
the newspaper since 19 April 1858. The paper had a circulation of
363,183 in December 2018, descending further until it withdrew from
newspaper circulation audits in 2019, having declined almost 80%, much
faster than industry trends, from 1.4 million in 1980. Its sister
paper, The Sunday Telegraph, which started in 1961, had a circulation
of 281,025 as of December 2018. The Telegraph once had the largest
circulation for a broadsheet newspaper in the UK, though that ended
many years ago.[when?] The two sister newspapers are run separately,
with different editorial staff, but there is cross-usage of stories.
