Circulation & Readership: No other single local publication in Northern Ireland can deliver the readers and the results like The Belfast Telegraph can.
Founded in 1870, The Belfast Telegraph has an illustrious past and is laying the groundwork for a dynamic future.
Northern Ireland's only evening daily is also far and away the most widely read local newspaper in this market. The latest readership data reveals 247,000 ¹ readers daily and 90,285 ² copies sold per day - readership and circulation figures equalled by no other local press title.
Even more importantly, The Belfast Telegraph enjoys broad appeal across the entire community and is the only indigenous paper to reach such a broad cross-section of readers. No wonder we are widely regarded as the "National Newspaper of Northern Ireland". ¹
