The Observer strike is about the future of liberal journalism - in the same week when the Murdoch succession drama plays out in court. My column www.prospectmagazine.co.uk/ideas/media/...
The Observer strike is about the future of liberal journalism. We should be worried
The sale of the Observer has prompted the biggest staff strike in more than 50 years and created a fracture that will be hard to heal

“I’m dismayed by both the Guardian’s offloading of the Observer, and the way it is being conducted. It does not reflect the values the Guardian promotes, and that all those who have given so much of their lives to these papers hold dear. (1/2)

Guardian & Observer journalists are entering final day of second 48-hour stoppage; they’ve braved the cold, spoken up for what they believe in to bosses, lost earnings & missed accolades. Please repost, support them on the picket line, donate & don’t click on Guardian links today 👊#SavetheObserver
Congrats @byrobdavies.bsky.social + @jacobsteinberg1.bsky.social for much deserved win at tonight’s journalism awards

You’ll see they are not in the photo… b/c they are on strike against the Tortoise Obs takeover

The solidarity from Guardian sport has been immense. You are the best in the biz 💪
Winners of the Sports Journalism category are @simonlock.bsky.social @byrobdavies.bsky.social @jacobsteinberg1.bsky.social of @tbij.bsky.social and @theguardian.com for their joint work “exposing the less salubrious machinations behind the lucrative world of football” #BritishJournalismAwards

Guardian & Observer journalists are on strike again today & tomorrow.

We believe we have a duty to tell readers the truth. Which is that this deal sucks. It’s bad for the Obs, bad for the Guardian. Bad for journalism.

Any support you can give us is hugely valued 🙏

Repetition

Explaining to children in nature that a tree is alive, that it communicates with other trees, that it breathes in and out, and that trees also sleep at night, creates an understanding, and what children understand they will protect throughout their lives.💚🌱☘️🌿🌳🌲

The spirit, values & ethos of a newspaper doesn’t reside inside a corporate hq with a load of designer chairs. It’s the journalists who embody it. We are the living link to the past & the best chance of survival into the future. You can’t buy or sell that, only treasure or lose it.

Guardian & Obs strike day 2: Griff, a hot-headed Welsh radical, makes his picket line debut, the placards get creative & morale remains high as stories break about other (higher) bids & the Scott Trust convenes an emergency huddle.

Nope, we have no idea what’s going on with the management either 🤷‍♀️
