The Coventry Telegraph is a local English tabloid newspaper. Originally called The Midland Daily Telegraph, it was founded in 1891 by William Isaac Iliffe as Coventry's first daily newspaper, a four-page broadsheet newspaper originally sold for a half penny. It changed its name to the Coventry Evening Telegraph on 17 November 1941, and to the Coventry Telegraph on 2 October 2006.
As of 2012, it is part of the Trinity Mirror group, which is the biggest regional newspaper publisher in the United Kingdom. It has a daily circulation of over 31,000 copies (Jan-Jun 2012).
On 11 October 2012, Alun Thorne, previously editor of the more up-market Birmingham Post, was appointed editor of the Telegraph, following the departure of previous editor Darren Parkin.
