YouTube Description
as posted by the channelJournalists at the Guardian and the observer are striking for a a second 48-hour period in protest to the proposed sale of the Observer newspaper to Tortoise Media.
Carole Cadwalladr tells James O'Brien that the Observer have proposed this sale in complete secrecy. She said that 'no current or former journalists or editors of the observer or the guardian has any clue, we are completely in the dark'.
The industrial action follows a similar two-day strike last week, which was the first at the Guardian in more than 50 years.
National Union of Journalists (NUJ) members passed a motion in November stating that selling the Sunday newspaper to Tortoise would be a “betrayal” of the Scott Trust’s commitment to the Observer. The trust is the ultimate owner of Guardian Media Group.
