The Belfast Telegraph earned more than £9m in government advertising over three years, figures have revealed.

The News Letter got more than £1.9m in revenue, while the Irish News received about £1.8m.

Local weekly newspapers as a whole made more than £5.8m between 2005-08.

The Department of Health spent the most, about £6.5m, on advertising across all the newspapers over the three years.
