| [[Image:Stentor_reading.jpg|thumb|150px|1901 photograph of a stentor (announcer) at the Budapest ''Telefon Hirmondó''.]]'''Telephone newspaper''' is a general term for the [[telephone]]-based news and entertainment services which were introduced beginning in the 1890s, and primarily located in large European cities. These systems were the first example of [[electronic]] [[broadcasting]], and offered a wide variety of programming, however, only a relative few were ever established. Although these systems predated the invention of [[radio]], they were supplanted by radio broadcasting stations beginning in the 1920s, primarily because radio signals were able to cover much wider areas with higher quality audio.
