The critically important role of an independent media in times like this. #ScottTrust #Guardian
And months later subscribers to #Observer and #Guardian still have not received any information about the status of their subscription. DDs continue to be taken. Why does #ScottTrust treat long time loyal readers in this way?
We all know who @carolecadwalla.bsky.social is, but who the hell is #TortoiseMedia? And what the hell has the #ScottTrust done?
As we grasp what the #GuardianMediaGroup and #ScottTrust have done, legions are paying tribute to the Observer and the west's best investigative journalist @carolecadwalla.bsky.social
The biggest betrayal of 2024 goes to #ScottTrust #GuardianMediaGroup
Bad people have sacrificed the Guardian and Observer.
It's now painfully obvious, Steve, it was never about the Observer, it's about the Guardian.
Those with the power, #ScottTrust and #GuardianMediaGroup, sleep with the enemy; lie; steal; do whatever it takes, to destroy independent journalism. This is their mandate.
We were hoodwinked.
Why is The Observer being flogged off?

#TheObserver #TheGuardian #ScottTrust […]
While selling off the #Observer, as their journalist strike, to an unprofitable media group, controlled by oligarchs, the billion-pound #ScottTrust has the audacity to ask readers to chip in and help them reach their $4-million goal.
Never again after this week's shenanigans.
Claiming not to be owned by the oligarchy, those involved with
#TortoiseMedia are clearly just that.
#ScottTrust and #GuardianMediaGroup are frauds.
They are GIVING £5-million to #TortoiseMedia, for the Observer, and calling it a sale.

Many of those with the power to destroy the Observer/Guardian are siphoning off £400,000 - £500,000 salaries.
Apparently, they were receiving enough subscription/contribution money to make up more than half the operating costs for the first time this year, then got greedier.
#ScottTrust
I’ve been looking but I can’t find the rationale for the #ScottTrust sale of the Observer to Tortoise. Can @theguardian.com point me in the direction of reasoning? I support the Guardian financial atm and therefore have an interest.
How can you be the chairman of the #ScottTrust (Ole Jacob Sunde) and be unable to name a single Observer or Guardian journalist?
The #ScottTrust is run by a bunch of charlatans.
Good Goddess!

Arguably a trust model is the only way to maintain a newspaper's editorial independence. Discuss. #ScottTrust #Observer #Tortoise #journalism
Beggars belief that the #ScottTrust would behave in such a dishonourable way. They owe the journalists and the readers a different outcome. Nobody wanted this to happen, save for a handful of out-touch, wealthy board members.
Shocking
Horrifying
Irresponsible
Mean-Spirited
Reckless
Unprofessional
Unjust
Maddening
My response to @carolecadwalla.bsky.social news the #ScottTrust has sold the Observer, in a secretive deal with obscure #TortoiseMedia
This is actually an excellent idea.
Why not replace the #ScottTrust and #GuardianMediaGroup?
Clearly, they are not fit for purpose.
#SaveTheObserver
The #ScottTrust, owner of the Guardian and Observer need to step up their game and come clean with their journalists and readers. Without our trust and goodwill, they have nothing.
#SaveTheObserver
Every day that the #ScottTrust refuses to listen their journalists and readers, they lose credibility they will never get back. Whoever is advising them, should be fired.
The #SaveTheObserver campaign is getting a ton of support from the public this week. #ScottTrust needs to snap out of it and listen to their journalists and readers.
#SaveTheObserver
The #ScottTrust, owner of the Guardian and Observer, have a lot to answer for. Apparently, the papers are now financed by more readers than the Trust. This means WE are the shareholders. We demand accountability and transparency.
#SaveTheObserver
One of the rival bids for the #Observer has offered to give a stake in the business to staff. No word on whether @theguardian.com #ScottTrust will entertain the bid as would be usual.
Here @mazzucatom.bsky.social suggests @theguardian.com and #Observer practice stakeholder capitalism…
#mediacoops
Shame on #ScottTrust, owner of the Guardian and Observer, giving journalists no choice but to strike in response to their recklessness.
As readers, we can all let the #ScottTrust know how we feel here👇🏻

Support hundreds of Observer/Guardian journalists, NOW on strike. Write a letter to owner #ScottTrust

Tell #ScottTrust Britain's oldest Sunday paper stays with the Guardian.
Support for Observer journalists (now on strike) growing stronger by the minute.
Snap out of it, #ScottTrust #SaveTheObserver
