The Northamptonshire Evening Telegraph is the local newspaper for north and east Northamptonshire and is the sister paper of Northampton's Chronicle & Echo. It is based at Newspaper House in Rothwell Road, Kettering, and has since 1996 been part of the Johnston Press newspaper group. The paper also has district offices in Wellingborough, Rushden and Corby.

The Northamptonshire Evening Telegraph is published in full colour every Thursday.[2] Two editions of the paper are printed—one distributed in Corby and the other in Kettering, Wellingborough, Rushden and the surrounding areas. In spring 2012 a decision was made by the newspaper's owners that the newspaper would become a weekly publication, along with several other local newspapers.[3]

The paper has been published continuously since 4 October 1897. A sports edition, the Football Telegraph, was also published until 1914 and again from 1921 to 1939.[4]
