👀 Observer newspaper deal attacts government scrutiny (£)

"Officials have sent letters to the Guardian and Tortoise requesting information about the proposed buyout of The Observer, to help judge whether the deal needs further scrutiny"

MPs object to Observer transfer. At the time of writing 18 MPs had signed. Please check whether your MP is among them; congratulate them if so; and encourage them to join if not. 🙏

As we head into the Christmas break, GONUJ want to thank everyone who has supported us, with donations, statements, letters, reposts, and of course joining us on our strike days. Your solidarity is so much appreciated.
Here's an update on where things stand. 🧵 (1/8)

In the meantime, and despite the trying circumstances in which we find ourselves, we wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. (8/8)

The Scott Trust and Guardian Media Group (GMG) have signed a deal with Tortoise Media to buy the Observer.

More to follow.

[alan rusbridger @arusbridger]

So Tortoise now owns the Observer. For the sake of all involved let’s hope it works. If James Harding’s figures are to be believed the Scott Trust has just enabled and funded a potentially powerful competitor to the Guardian in the liberal media space. Strange times

[The Guardian and Observer NUJ @gonuj93]

From @thetimes (£)

"Tortoise is a thinly capitalised vanity project in search of a commercial model. Buying The Observer will give it a reason to tap backers for millions more... The Guardian is paying too much for a stake that isn’t big enough..."
