Journalists at the Guardian and the Observer are holding a 48-hour strike in protest at the proposed sale of the Observer newspaper to Tortoise Media.
The strike, the first at the Guardian in more than 50 years, is due to take place on Wednesday 4 December and Thursday 5 December.
We’ll find out whether the quality of the paper increases tomorrow, shall we?
Will anyone outside of the BBC notice?
There’s one noticeable effect – no comments in the crosswords.
“ Will anyone outside of the BBC notice?”
From my experience there quite a lot of civil servants in DCMS. The biggest stack in the press office was the G, with only one or 2 copies of the Sun.
one effect as mentioned by Arthur is no comments today – shame as that is always more entertaining than the articles and a good source of amusement during lunch breaks.
We’ll find out whether the quality of the paper increases tomorrow, shall we?
The metric being whether it wipes better?
The only bit worth reading is the football section. Are the soccer scribblers going on strike? Will they claim to be strikers rather than ‘keepers, ho, ho?
It’s noticable over here…
A …specific editorial section… of the main cloggie news outlets takes the Guardian as a Primary Source and Gospel Truth..
It’s amazing how blessed the silence and confusion is now that they haven’t got their go-to Authoritative Source to “re-edit” to tell us how we should think..
Journalists at the Guardian and the Observer gave an orgy, and nobody came.
