Journalists at the Guardian and its sister publication, the Observer, are engaging in a two-day strike to protest the proposed sale of the Observer to Tortoise Media. This unprecedented strike, the first at the Guardian in over 50 years, reflects the staff’s strong feelings about the potential sale, perceived as a betrayal of the Scott Trust’s commitment to the publication. The Guardian plans to minimize the impact of the strike and will continue to publish while addressing changes on its website and in print editions.
