Our Journalism 

A digital subscription gives you full access to all of our breaking news and views including all premium, exclusive articles and analysis of our agenda-setting news from The Daily Telegraph and Sunday Telegraph team.

We’re a news source with some serious history behind us – and credibility built on generations of journalists and editors.

The Daily Telegraph is a direct descendant of newspapers that have been chronicling life in NSW since first hitting the streets on July 1, 1879.

We’ve been breaking news across this iconic state for more than 140 years.

The way we share the news has changed dramatically, with our stories consumed on smartphones, tablets and desktop PCs as well as in print, although digital subscribers also get access to a PDF version of our printed products online.

When you subscribe, you’re helping fund the journalism that brings you stories from across the state, the nation, and the world.

In return, we provide unique locally-based coverage of NSW from a network of journalists with incredible expertise.

On Sundays, you’ll get exclusive stories from The Sunday Telegraph – a newspaper which not only delivers big stories but sets the week’s agenda.

That’s not all. You’ll also enjoy unlimited access to the websites of our sister papers — Brisbane’s The Courier-Mail, Melbourne’s Herald Sun, Adelaide’s The Advertiser and Tasmania’s Mercury.

A subscription provides access to not only content from our network of sister papers across the country but to authoritative coverage from writers like industry veteran Michael Madigan.

Need to keep tabs on what’s happening in property development, or business? Our experts will keep you across the news that matters.

We’re also leaders in police and crime coverage with expert coverage.

Our people bring power to our journalism – they care about being right, and about being first.

The difference between the stories that we bring our subscribers – and those that you’ll find elsewhere on the web – is that ours are exclusive and they’re written with a North Coast audience in mind.
