Although predominantly Bradford-focused, it also covers the Aire Valley, Otley & Ilkley, and the Spen Valley. The newspaper is published and printed in Bradford city centre, in the newspaper's distinctive glass-fronted building on Hall Ings.
Founded in 1868, the paper was a broadsheet until 1989 when it became tabloid. It features a range of news, features, sport, lifestyle articles and classified advertising, with weekly supplements on motoring and property.
The Telegraph & Argus is owned by Newsquest, the second largest publisher of regional newspapers in the United Kingdom. The current editor is Perry Austin-Clarke.
