The Telegraph was the first newspaper to report on a number of notable news scoops, including the outbreak of World War II and the 2009 MP expenses scandal. Now, the Telegraph Media Group has grown into a multimedia news brand, providing subscribers with access to journalism across The Telegraph website and app, The Daily Telegraph and The Sunday Telegraph newspapers.
