In 1989, the Sunday title was briefly merged into a seven-day operation under [[Max Hastings]]'s overall control. In 2005, the paper was revamped, with Stella being added to the more traditional television and radio section. It costs £2.20 and includes separate Money, Living, Sport and Business supplements.

''Young Telegraph'' was a weekly section of ''The Daily Telegraph'' published as a 14-page supplement in the weekend edition of the newspaper. ''Young Telegraph'' featured a mixture of news, features, cartoon strips and product reviews aimed at 8–12-year-olds. It was edited by Damien Kelleher (1993–1997) and Kitty Melrose (1997–1999). Launched in 1990, the award-winning supplement also ran original serialised stories featuring popular brands such as ''Young Indiana Jones'' and the British children's sitcom ''[[Maid Marian and Her Merry Men]]''. It featured the cartoon "Mad Gadget" by Chris Winn, and a computer game "Mad Gadget: Lost In Time" (1993) and a book "Mad Gadget: Gadget Mad" (1995) were produced.

==== History ====
The website was launched, under the name ''electronic telegraph'' at midday on 15 November 1994 at the headquarters of ''The Daily Telegraph'' at [[Canary Wharf]] in [[London Docklands]] with [[Ben Rooney]] as its first editor.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.pressgazette.co.uk/how-online-journalism-got-its-uk-start/|title=How UK online journalism got its UK start|date=1 June 2006|work=UK Press Gazette|access-date=16 February 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200216110951/https://www.pressgazette.co.uk/how-online-journalism-got-its-uk-start/|archive-date=16 February 2020|url-status=live}}</ref>  It was Europe's first daily web-based newspaper. At this time, the modern internet was still in its infancy, with as few as 10,000 websites estimated to have existed at the time – compared to more than 100&nbsp;billion by 2009. In 1994, only around 1% of the British population (some 600,000 people) had internet access at home, compared to more than 80% in 2009.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/6545788/Telegraph.co.uk-15-years-of-online-news.html|title=Telegraph.co.uk: 15 years of online news|date=11 November 2009|work=The Daily Telegraph|last1=Richmond|first1=Shane|access-date=3 April 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171013233654/http://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/6545788/Telegraph.co.uk-15-years-of-online-news.html|archive-date=13 October 2017|url-status=live}}</ref>

Initially, the site published only the top stories from the print edition of the newspaper but it gradually increased its coverage until virtually all of the newspaper was carried online and the website was also publishing original material. The website, hosted on a [[Sun Microsystems]] Sparc 20 server and connected via a 64 kbit/s [[leased line]] from [[Demon Internet]], was edited by Ben Rooney.{{citation needed|date=October 2021}}

An early coup for the site was the publication of articles by [[Ambrose Evans-Pritchard]] on [[Bill Clinton]] and the [[Whitewater controversy]]. The availability of the articles online brought a large American audience to the site. In 1997, the Clinton administration issued a 331-page report that accused Evans-Pritchard of peddling "right-wing inventions". [[Derek Bishton]], who by then had succeeded Rooney as editor, later wrote: "In the days before ET it would have been highly unlikely that anyone in the US would have been aware of Evans-Pritchard's work – and certainly not to the extent that the White House would be forced to issue such a lengthy rebuttal."<ref>{{Cite news |url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/1471964/From-ET-to-TD.html |title=From ET to TD |work=The Daily Telegraph |date=5 February 2010 |access-date=2 May 2010 |location=London |first=Derek |last=Bishton |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101014112005/http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/1471964/From-ET-to-TD.html |archive-date=14 October 2010 |url-status=live }}</ref> Bishton, who later became consulting editor for Telegraph Media Group, was followed as editor by [[Richard Burton (journalist)|Richard Burton]], who was made redundant in August 2006. Edward Roussel replaced Burton.

Launched in May 2007, My Telegraph won a Cross Media Award from international newspaper organisation IFRA in October 2007.<ref>{{cite news|last=Oliver|first=Laura|title=My Telegraph wins international new media award|url=http://www.journalism.co.uk/news/my-telegraph-wins-international-new-media-award/s2/a530626/|access-date=20 May 2013|newspaper=Journalism|date=9 October 2007|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140606220511/http://www.journalism.co.uk/news/my-telegraph-wins-international-new-media-award/s2/a530626/|archive-date=6 June 2014|url-status=live}}</ref> One of the judges, [[Robert Cauthorn]], described the project as "the best deployment of blogging yet seen in any newspaper anywhere in the world".
