Daily Telegraph

Daily Telegraph,
founded in 1855 , the first daily paper to be issued in London at a penny. Its enterprising character and rather highly coloured style proved so successful that for a time it enjoyed a larger circulation than any other English newspaper, and in its early days, with T. Hunt as assistant editor, its political views were radical. After a period of decline in the early 20th cent., circulation recovered in the 1930s; in 1937 the Morning Post was at its own request amalgamated. The Sunday Telegraph was added in 1961 . Among famous members of its staff have been G. A. Sala , Sir E. Arnold , and Edward Dicey ( 1832 – 1911 ).
