Guardian Journalists Strike Amid Observer Sale Controversy
Originally Published 1 year ago — by NPR
Journalists at The Guardian and The Observer are striking to protest the planned sale of The Observer to Tortoise Media, a small digital startup. The strike aims to slow the sale process, which journalists argue could harm the historic brand. The Observer, the world's oldest Sunday newspaper, is being sold by the Scott Trust, which owns the Guardian Media Group. The sale has been criticized by former editors and union employees, who fear it could undermine the paper's legacy and financial stability.
