The Guardian

Founded in 1821 as The Manchester Guardian, The Guardian is a leading global news organization renowned for its independent journalism. It is owned by Guardian News & Media, which is in turn owned by the Scott Trust, a structure designed to secure the publication's financial and editorial independence in perpetuity. With a digital-first approach, it operates major editions for the UK, US, and Australia, reaching a worldwide audience. Its mission is to deliver fearless reporting, challenge the powerful, and provide a platform for progressive ideas, funded primarily through reader contributions, subscriptions, and advertising.
