De Telegraaf is one of the best-known and largest daily newspapers in the Netherlands. The newspaper is known for its direct style, striking headlines and focus on current affairs, crime, sports, entertainment and politics. The tone is often spicy and outspoken, which makes De Telegraaf both popular and controversial.

The newspaper was founded in 1893 and has had an enormous influence on the Dutch media landscape ever since. Although it used to be read mainly as a morning newspaper, De Telegraaf has now also developed strongly in the digital field, with a popular website, apps and video news.

De Telegraaf focuses on a broad audience, often with a straightforward mentality. Major news events, scandals and social discussions are not avoided – on the contrary, they are often given a prominent place on the front page.
