[edit] Change of category

I've changed the category from Irish newspapers to British newspapers. This is not political. The paper is written and printed in Northern Ireland, by most definitions making it a UK newspaper. Independent News and Media plc also organise the Belfast Telegraph Group as part of their UK operations, not the Irish division. [1] Mark83 22:10, 12 September 2005 (UTC)


Ireland and the United Kingdom are not mutually exclusive.

[edit] Loyalist?

I would question whether the Telegraph is loyalist. According to Loyalists in Northern Ireland, loyalists are extreme unionists. While the Telegraph probably is unionist, I can't see anything extreme about it - it gives reasonably even handed coverage to nationalists, covers Irish sport etc. --Helenalex 02:10, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Tabloid?

I know most of the content is tabloid, but isnt the weekday telegraph actually broadsheet proportions? The saturday edition is taboid sized. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Icanseeformilesandmiles (talkcontribs) 14:31, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

I think the morning edition is tabloid sized and the later edition broadsheet, but I don't live in Belfast any more so I'm not 100% sure. --Helenalex (talk) 08:01, 13 June 2008 (UTC)
