			== Editorial stance ==
			According to an analysis of the major English language newspapers in India, during the run up to the [[2014 Indian general election]], the political coverage of ''The Telegraph'' was found to be less aligned in favor of the [[Bharatiya Janata Party]] and less negative of the [[Indian National Congress]] relative to that of ''[[The Times of India]]'' and the ''[[Hindustan Times]]''.<ref>{{Cite journal\|last=Barclay\|first=Francis P.\|last2=Pichandy\|first2=C.\|last3=Venkat\|first3=Anusha\|date=2014-06-01\|title=Indian Elections, 2014: Political Orientation of English Newspapers\|url=https://doi.org/10.1177/1326365X14539215\|journal=Asia Pacific Media Educator\|language=en\|volume=24\|issue=1\|pages=7–22\|doi=10.1177/1326365X14539215\|issn=1326-365X}}</ref>

			In a 2020 ''[[Newslaundry]]'' article, the paper's coverage of the response to the [[COVID-19 pandemic]] by the [[Government of India\|central government]] and that of the [[Government of West Bengal\|Bengal government]] were contrasted; according to it the paper provided more critical coverage of the former and less of the latter in its editorials and frontpage headlines.<ref>{{Cite web\|last=Sharma\|first=Ayan\|title=Tough on Modi, soft on Mamata: How Telegraph covered Covid responses by two governments\|url=https://www.newslaundry.com/2020/05/19/tough-on-modi-soft-on-mamata-how-telegraph-covered-covid-responses-by-two-governments\|access-date=2021-07-17\|website=Newslaundry}}</ref> In an interview to [[Outlook (Indian magazine)\|Outlook]], ''The Telegraph'' editor R. Rajagopal rejected the conception that it was harsher on the former and soft of the latter, stating that the scope of the events decide the prominence they receive in the paper which is being noticed because only a few others are providing similar coverage and that the tendency among media outlets to seek a [[false balance]] just to be able to able to claim neutrality was detrimental to journalism.<ref>{{Cite web\|last=Yadav\|first=Puneet Nicholas\|title=Credibility of Media Has Reached A Nadir That Audience Doesn’t Care: Telegraph Editor R Rajagopal\|url=https://www.outlookindia.com/website/story/india-news-credibility-of-media-has-reached-such-a-nadir-that-audience-just-doesnt-care-telegraph-editor-r-rajagopal/347649\|url-status=live\|access-date=2021-07-16\|website=[[Outlook (Indian magazine)\| Outlook]]}}</ref>

==History==
''The Telegraph'' was founded on 7 July 1982. The design director of London's ''[[The Sunday Times]]'', Edwin Taylor, designed the newspaper and provided a standard in design and editing. In 31 years, it has become the largest-circulation [[English language|English]] daily in the [[East India|eastern region]] published from [[Kolkata]]. In 1982, [[M. J. Akbar]] used to edit and design the daily newspaper; thus it had a major impact on [[Newspaper|newspaper journalism]] in [[India]].

''The Telegraph'' is published by media group [[Ananda Publishers]] closely associated with ABP Pvt. Ltd; the group also published ''[[Anandabazar Patrika]]'' (a Bengali language newspaper) since 13 March 1922.<ref>{{cite news|title=ABP Group launches Bengali tabloid, Ebela|url=http://www.afaqs.com/news/story/35346_ABP-Group-launches-Bengali-tabloid-Ebela|access-date=18 March 2014|newspaper=afaqs|date=17 September 2012}}</ref> Apart from newspapers the group even published Bengali and English periodicals like ''[[Anandamela]]'', ''[[Unish-Kuri]]'', ''[[Sananda (magazine)|Sananda]]'', ''[[Anandalok]]'', ''[[Desh magazine]]'', ''The Telegraph in Schools'' and ''Career''.

''[[Businessworld]]'', which was initially part of the ABP group, has been sold to Anurag Batra, of Exchange4Media and Vikram Jhunjhunwala, an investment banker for an undisclosed amount.<ref>{{cite news|last=Bhattacharyya|first=Anushree|title=Exchange4media's Anurag Batra, investment banker Vikram Jhunjhunwala buy Businessworld from ABP|url=http://m.financialexpress.com/news/exchange4medias-anurag-batra-investment-banker-vikram-jhunjhunwala-buy-businessworld-from-abp/1171613/|access-date=18 March 2014|newspaper=[[The Financial Express (India)|Financial Express]]|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140318134849/http://m.financialexpress.com/news/exchange4medias-anurag-batra-investment-banker-vikram-jhunjhunwala-buy-businessworld-from-abp/1171613/|archive-date=18 March 2014|df=dmy-all}}</ref>
