Telegraph of Nashua

The Telegraph of Nashua is a daily newspaper in Nashua, New Hampshire. 2003 circulation was ~27,000 daily, and ~34,000 on Sunday. The corporation was founded in 1869 and is the second-largest newspaper within the state.

The paper received some attention during the 1980 presidential primary[?], when it hosted a debate[?], paid for by Ronald Reagan. During a debate over which candidates[?] should be allowed to participate, editor Jon Breen[?], acting as moderator, told the soundman[?] to turn off Reagan's microphone. Reagan's response, "I paid for this microphone, Mr. Green!" entered the political lexicon[?] and, some say, launched his successful run for office. The fact that Reagan got the editor's name wrong is often forgotten.
