DAILY TELEGRAPH

The Daily Telegraph is a broadsheet newspaper which was established in 1855 as a 2d paper by Colonel Sleigh. Several months later it was bought by Levy who reduced the price to 1d. It was a Liberal supporting paper until 1878, then from 1886 it was unionist and raised funds for needy causes. Today it is nicknamed the 'Torygraph' from its strong support of the Conservative party.
