What does The Guardian do?

The Guardian, published by Guardian Media Group (GMG), is a British daily newspaper founded in 1821 as the Manchester Guardian. It is known for its independent and liberal journalism, with a strong emphasis on investigative reporting and quality analysis. The newspaper transitioned to a daily format in 1855 and became known simply as The Guardian in 1959, reflecting its national and international reach. GMG, wholly owned by the Scott Trust, ensures the newspaper's editorial freedom and financial independence. The Guardian publishes both print and digital content, including The Observer, the world's oldest Sunday newspaper, and operates theguardian.com, which has become one of the largest English-language newspaper websites. The organization is committed to quality journalism free from political and commercial influence, and it has a history of significant investigative work that has shaped public discourse in the UK. The Scott Trust Endowment Fund supports its mission, allowing it to maintain its editorial integrity and independence.
