The "Evening Telegraph" was for most of its existence Ireland's leading evening newspaper. It was published in Dublin between 1871 and 1924. Its main rivals were the widely read "Dublin Evening Mail" and the less widely read "Evening Herald".
Launch
The "Evening Telegraph" was launched in 1871 by a former Irish nationalist Lord Mayor of Dublin Edmund Dwyer Gray. The newspaper was unavowedly Irish nationalist in its politics. It was originally a weekly newspaper but soon became daily (except Sundays).
It was particularly famous for the attention it paid to covering social events, and for its use of drawings as illustrations.
Distinctive pink colour
The paper was published on distinctive pink newspaper, which marked it out visually from the buff (brownish-yellow) paper colour used by one of its Dublin rivals, the "Dublin Evening Mail".
Literary association
Leopold Bloom sells advertising for the Evening Telegraph in James Joyce's famous novel "Ulysses".
Closure in 1924
The paper was published between 1871 and 1924. It closed in the same year as the main daily Nationalist newspaper, the "Freeman's Journal". It is unclear whether the elimination of the Irish Parliamentary Party in the 1918 general election, and the achievement of dominion status as opposed to the IPP’s desired home rule, undermined the need for the old Nationalist newspapers attached to a political order that had been swept away between 1916 and 1922.
