The Telegraph (Adelaide)
The Telegraph was a newspaper in Adelaide, South Australia, founded in 1862, and merged with The Express to become The Express and Telegraph, published from 1867 to 1922.[1]
History
The Adelaide Telegraph
The Adelaide Telegraph was founded and edited by
The Register.[2] The Advertiser, which was first published in 1858, retaliated in 1863 by founding its own afternoon newspaper, The Express, as a competitor to The Telegraph.[3]
Finniss's Northern Territory expedition as clerk-in-charge, then returned to the Telegraph the following year after being sacked by Finniss for insubordination. Sinnett left for Melbourne in late 1865,[4] and Ward succeeded him as both editor (briefly) and parliamentary shorthand writer until 1868.[5]
The Daily Telegraph
Around 1864 or 1865 The Adelaide Telegraph was renamed the Daily Telegraph, introduced a morning edition, and founded the short-lived weekend Weekly Mail.
The Express and Telegraph
In December 1865 the manager Henry Edlin called in all debts and advertised the business for sale, and was purchased by a consortium led by
The Express and Telegraph
, which title persisted until 1922, when it reverted to simply The Express (1922–1923).
