Telegraph News Service

‘Telegraph Report’, our exclusive wire service, is an adjunct to the main news agencies and provides up-to-the-minute news, analysis, background and comment on the major stories at home and abroad.

The ‘Telegraph Report’

In a world overloaded with information, ‘Telegraph Report’ delivers a concise and manageable selection of the best journalism in The Daily Telegraph, Britain’s biggest-selling broadsheet for half a century, and its sister paper, The Sunday Telegraph.

It offers a clear alternative to the larger more prolific US-Based syndicates - delivering a view of the world from a different perspective. Most notably during the US election when our customers had access to concise, informed commentary from an international perspective.

Our Wire Editors select around 20 or more stories - news, comment, analysis, background. features, sport, business, science, fashion from our reporters in London and around the world, seven days a week.

Here is a breakdown of the coverage available:

FOREIGN NEWS:

Our comprehensive foreign coverage is renowned: at home our analysis is authoritative and noted for often challenging the liberal consensus.

More than 90 foreign correspondents and stringers contribute to daily foreign coverage.

The Telegraph has news bureaux in Washington, New York, Moscow, Beijing, Delhi, Lahore, Sydney, Nairobi, Johannesburg, Jerusalem, Brussels, Paris and Rome. We have recently opened offices in Kabul, Shanghai and Dubai and reinforced our presence in Delhi to keep up with the changing realities of the 21st century.

Our London-based foreign reporters file vividly from the world’s trouble-spots. In the past year, Nick Meo has written of surviving a roadside bomb ambush in Afghanistan and has also filed from Pakistan’s Swat Valley, Mali, and Ethiopia. Colin Freeman interviewed - and was kidnapped by - pirates in Somalia. Damian McElroy files regularly from Iraq, Iran and Libya.

McElroy is one of our stable of commentators on foreign affairs, along with Con Coughlin on the Middle East and Toby Harnden on the US.

INTERVIEWS:

The Telegraph has the clout to land the news-makers and big names in the world of entertainment and the arts to consistently deliver quality writing in its interviews and features. John Grisham, Zara Phillips, Tom Ford, Ivana Trump, David Gilmour, Johnny Depp, Bob Dylan, Gerard Depardieu, Candace Bushnell, Gore Vidal, Sophie Marceau, Oasis, Nicole Kidman and Baz Luhrmann are just a few of the diverse range of personalities who have talked to the Telegraph.

SPORTS:

The Daily Telegraph was the first paper in the UK to publish a separate daily Sports section. Coverage is led by award winning Chief Soccer Writer Henry Winter who leads a team of no fewer than nine football writers providing unrivalled coverage of Manchester United, Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool and the other teams in the Premier League. Syndication clients also receive regular commentaries from the big names in sport - Alan Hansen and Alan Smith on soccer, Geoff Boycott on cricket, Paul Ackford and Brian Moore on rugby.

In addition, Kevin Garside and Ian Chadband file stylish colour pieces on the big sporting dramas and Mark Hodgkinson is being talked about as Britain’s leading tennis writer.

SCIENCE:

The Telegraph aims to lead the British Press in coverage of science and medicine for the general reader together with graphics to illustrate the more complex scientific developments.

FEATURES, HEALTH, FASHION, BUSINESS:

The Daily Telegraph also runs regular Health features, Fashion pages from the internationally renowned Fashion Director Hilary Alexander, and a daily separate Business section with all the news and features from all the international financial centres including coverage from our business correspondents in London, Wall Street and Hong Kong.

TECHNICAL DELIVERY:

‘Telegraph Report’ offers a minimum of 20 stories a day, sent as text files which are retrieved from our FTP sites.

The Schedule is sent at 17.00hrs and 19.30hrs GMT, either as part of the general feed or directly to your PC via email and is a useful tool for your editorial staff to plan what they will receive from us. Any breaking stories will be added during the evening before the paper begins to print at 10.00pm GMT.

‘Telegraph Report’ is the quick and accessible service that enables titles around the world to harness the resources of Britain’s top quality broadsheet to add further lustre and authority to their coverage at a fraction of the original commissioning cost.

Our wire service is text based and does not include photographs; however we are increasingly working with regular staff ‘retained’ photographers, so we do have some images available to support our wire service stories. These images are accessible on a closed access Photo website where they are refreshed daily. We will ensure you have access to these accompanying photographs or any other news of the day. Each evening you will receive a schedule summarising the articles included in that day’s Report and this will indicate if there are any accompanying pictures.

The articles from Telegraph Report will be from our own staff writers and selected freelance writers. Please find below details of the various newspaper sections and what is available from each, please click on the relevant links at the top under Related Content
