History and profile
Le Télégramme was founded on 12 September 1944 by members of the French Resistance as the Germans retreated following D-Day and the 6 June 1944 Normandy landings.[1] It was seen as a replacement for La Dépêche de Brest which had been seen as collaborationist.[2]
The newspaper is distributed in the Finistère department, the Côtes-d'Armor department and elsewhere in Brittany.[3]
