In March, Telegraph Sport won Sports Newspaper of the Year for the fourth consecutive year at the Sports Journalism Awards. The judges said: “Not only did The Telegraph break many of the biggest stories, it also regularly sets the agenda.”
As a subscriptions-led publisher, our focus is on providing the most intelligent, distinctive and broadest coverage of sport. We know that having journalists at the big events is critical to reporting faithfully and well. We continue to lead the way for women’s sport across digital, print and podcasts, championing female role models, myth busting and inspiring others to participate.
Working with commercial partners we have provided grass roots legacy funding and put the spotlight on those who are pushing the boundaries to create positive change for the industry. As a result, we are delivering average brand consideration increases of 30% and brand recommendation increases of 51% for our partners.
