- In the early part of last century, the Telegraph was a less serious newspaper than the Courier Mail, despite it’s broadsheet format
- A greater emphasis on bold headlines, photography, sensational reporting and advertising than the Courier Mail, but this difference became even more accentuated after it changed to a tabloid in the late 40s.
