History of the Telegram
The Telegram Newspaper was founded in 1944 and has been in continuous publication since that time. The late J. C. Wall, who passed away in July 1997, published it for over 50 years. Following J. C. Wall’s death, the Telegram continued to live on through the efforts of Mr. Ben Wade.
In June 2006, the Telegram was purchased by Gina C. Wilson and has experienced exponential growth. The Telegram is distributed on newsstands throughout Detroit and ten of the Downriver Communities. Other loyal readers of the Telegram receive their newspaper via the mail in such states as California, Maryland, Florida and numerous cities in between.
