The Telegraph is a Kolkata based broadsheet newspaper in English. It is owned by the Anandabazar Patrika Limited (an enterprise of Ananda Publishers). It has published continuously since 7 July 1982 and created history by being the only broadsheet newspaper in post independent India to increase its market share by taking away readership from the established market leader (The Statesman). In its short life span of 23 years, it has become the largest circulated English daily in the eastern region published from Calcutta. It is considered by the Audit Bureau of Circulations, India , to be the fastest growing daily (in terms of circulation) in eastern India.

The Telegraph is also published from Guwahati (to cater to the entire northeast), Siliguri (for North Bengal and Sikkim), Jamshedpur, and Ranchi (for Jharkhand). The Telegraph today offers, in addition to its extensive national, international, and business news a wide variety of reading material on special interests. Following is a list of its daily supplements:

Monday : KnowHow — An eight page colour tabloid on science.
Tuesday : The Telegraph Jobs, a tabloid on jobs available, on how to approach interviews with interviews on those succeeded and those who take interviews.
Wednesday : Telekids — an exciting eight page colour tabloid for children.
