# Telegraph style book: introduction
|
|
|
|
## The official guide to house style for The Daily Telegraph, its supplements
|
|
and magazines; The Sunday Telegraph, its supplements and magazines; and
|
|
Telegraph.co.uk.

|
Why have a house style? We need one to provide conformity not just in our
|
|
newspapers but on our website, and to ensure that we are all speaking the same
|
|
language.
|
|
|
|
The style should help to imbue all our media with individuality.
|
|
|
|
To echo the introduction to a previous style book: "Its aims are accuracy,
|
|
immediacy, clarity and readability. And the greatest of these is not clarity
|
|
but accuracy."
|
|
|
|
There will be slight variations between news, features and sports style, and
|
|
these will be dealt with later.
|
|
|
|
For the most part, though, usages will be common to the whole of both
|
|
newspapers and to the Telegraph website.
