The Worcester Telegram & Gazette is Worcester, Massachusetts's only daily newspaper. The paper, known locally as the Telegram or the T and G, is owned by the Worcester Telegram & Gazette Corp., a wholly owned subsidiary of The New York Times Company (publisher of The New York Times and The Boston Globe).
Through several zoned editions, it offers coverage of all of Worcester County, as well as surrounding areas of the western suburbs of Boston, western Massachusetts and several towns in Windham County in northeastern Connecticut.
Until the 1980s, two papers—the Worcester Telegram in the morning, and the Evening Gazette in the afternoon—were published by the same company, with separate editorial staffs in some departments. The two were merged into a single Telegram & Gazette upon their acquisition by the Chronicle Publishing Company, publishers of the San Francisco Chronicle in 1986. Chronicle would sell the Telegram & Gazette to The New York Times Company, owners of the nearby Boston Globe, in 1999.
The paper's owners also held Worcester radio station WTAG until 1987 after the newspapers were divested.
