释义
Guardian, The
British newspaper
influential daily newspaper published in London and Manchester, generally considered one of the United Kingdom's leading newspapers.
Founded in 1821 as the weekly Manchester Guardian, the paper became a daily after the British government lifted its Stamp Tax on newspapers in 1855; 100 years later, “Manchester” was dropped from the name to reflect its standing as a national daily newspaper with a positive international reputation.
The Guardian has historically been praised for its investigative journalism, its dispassionate discussion of issues, its literary and artistic coverage and criticism, and its foreign correspondence. The Guardian's editorial stance is considered less conservative than that of The Daily Telegraph and The Times, its main London competitors, but its reporting is also marked by its independence. The paper was once called “Britain's non-conformist conscience.”
Its editorial approach is credited to the 57-year tenure of Charles Prestwich Scott (Scott, Charles Prestwich), which began in 1871, when the paper covered both the Prussian and the French sides in the Franco-German War. As Scott once described his paper's publishing philosophy, “Comment is free. Facts are sacred…. The voice of opponents no less than of friends has a right to be heard.”
The paper is owned by the Scott Trust, which also owns the Guardian Media Group. Income from the group supports the newspaper and allows it to remain financially secure. The trust ownership structure has prevented a buyout of the newspaper by larger media owners.
