The Northamptonshire Evening Telegraph is the local newspaper for north and east Northamptonshire and is the sister paper of Northampton's Chronicle & Echo. It is based at Newspaper House in Rothwell Road, Kettering, and has since 1996 been part of the Johnston Press newspaper group. The paper also has district offices in Wellingborough, Rushden and Corby.

The Northamptonshire Evening Telegraph is published in full colour every Thursday.[2] Two editions of the paper are printed—one distributed in Corby and the other in Kettering, Wellingborough, Rushden and the surrounding areas. In spring 2012 a decision was made by the newspaper's owners that the newspaper would become a weekly publication, along with several other local newspapers.[3]

The paper has been published continuously since 4 October 1897. A sports edition, the Football Telegraph, was also published until 1914 and again from 1921 to 1939.[4]

History and ownership

The East Midland Allied Press was formed in 1947 by merger of the Northamptonshire Printing and Publishing Co. with the Peterborough Advertiser Co., the West Norfolk and King's Lynn Newspaper Co. and commercial printing sections at Rushden, King's Lynn and Bury St. Edmunds. It was overseen by Pat Winfrey, the son of Sir Richard Winfrey, who had bought the Spalding Guardian in 1887. In 1996, EMAP, as it had become known, divested 69 newspapers, including the Northamptonshire Evening Telegraph.[5]

The Evening Telegraph and its sister paper, the Northampton Chronicle & Echo, are now owned by Northamptonshire Newspapers Ltd., part of Johnston Press.[6] The separate Peterborough Evening Telegraph, owned by another Johnston subsidiary, began as localised edition with four change pages in 1948. Between 1946 and 1976, four geographically distinct editions were published with up to three change pages. From 1988, the Kettering, Corby and Wellingborough editions were recommenced with minor page changes.[7]
