The Telegram website offers only a sample of the stories our reporters, editors and photographers work hard to get to the public every day.

“It’s definitely not coming from there,” she said.
• When it came to expressing his remorse brutally beating a teenager, Matthew Paul King opted for a different approach.
In an usual move at provincial court in St. John’s Wednesday, King performed a rap when he testified at his sentencing hearing. Entitled “Forgiveness,” it was a piece King said he wrote in preparation for the hearing.
“This called a formal apology,” King rapped, moving his hands to the beat, as he stood in the prisoner’s dock in provincial court in St. John’s.
• Privacy breaches at the regional health authorities may have shocked this province, but the infractions were no worse than what’s happened anywhere else, says an electronic health records expert. “I don’t see it as any different than anywhere else in the world, let alone across Canada. Newfoundland is no different than anybody else,” says Gary Folker, senior vice-president — Canada for Orion Health.
