Evening Telegraph
The Evening Telegraph (or the Evening Telegraph and Post, as its masthead has it) is an evening tabloid newspaper sold on Mondays to Fridays in the City of Dundee and further afield through Tayside and the Kingdom of Fife, including the towns of Montrose, Forfar, Arbroath and Carnoustie in Angus, Perth and Dunkeld in the Perth & Kinross council area, and St Andrews, Glenrothes and Methil in Fife.
It was founded in 1877 by the Liberal MP Sir John Leng, who also founded the magazines The People’s Friend and The People’s Journal as aids to improve working-class literacy. John Leng & Co. was taken over by D C Thomson (who also produce the Sunday Post) in 1927.
The Tele (as it’s known colloquially) is sold in four editions:
- First (early edition for the Dundee area)
- Counties Extra (edition for the wider circulation area, based on the Late Extra edition for Dundee)
- Late Extra (late afternoon for the Dundee area)
- City (produced only when there’s a major late-breaking story, and sold only in Dundee city centre)
The website carries a limited number of stories from each edition, from the most recent back as far as July 2003.
