[5] Until the 1980s, two papers—the Worcester Telegram in the morning and the Evening Gazette in the afternoon—were published by the same company, with separate editorial staffs in some departments.

The paper's previous owners also owned Worcester radio station WTAG until selling it after the newspapers were divested, in 1987.

[6] The weekday Telegram & Gazette contains national, state and local news, as well as sports, business, and a feature stories.

On Thursdays Worcester Magazine is inserted in the paper highlighting local artists and events in the area.

All editorials and letters to the editor appear in the regional opinion and op-ed pages of the main news section.
