The Guardian

I've already covered the papers I read on may way to (the Daily Mirror) and from (the Express & Star) work, so it's about time I had a go at the one I read at home - the Guardian. Many people deride it as a paper for lefty pinko bleeding-heart liberals, but as one myself I don't think that's any bad thing! In fact, there are subjects on which the paper is anything but politically correct - their rather unpleasant derision of anything to do with the Welsh language is taking a very long time to wean off. The Guardian is interesting in that it is not controlled by one of the multinational media empires, but by the Guardian Media Group's Scott ...  Read the complete review

---THE GUARDIAN--- When I buy a paper I want one that offers great all round content. I really look forward to Saturday when I purchase the Guardian. It's just really good value. I don't really get much time these days to actually read a newspaper during the week, as I am so busy writing all the time, but I still try to find time to read a few newspapers at the weekends. My newspaper of choice for Saturday is the Guardian broadsheet. Sister newspaper to the Observer, the Guardian has been in business as a daily newspaper following the early success of the Manchester Guardian. The Guardian is quite simply great news with in depth analysis. What I ...  Read the complete review

I read the papers online every day and think it is important to read a wide variety of news....I like to think I am not easily swayed by public opinion and that I am able to keep a rationale and level head.... reading papers from the Daily Mail to the Guardian really helps me to do that. I don't buy the paper, but do read it online and actually, the very reason I decided to write a review was because I was so shocked to see that it had only been given four stars! Obviously, all newspapers have their political stance, we wouldn't read them if they didn't but perhaps I relate mostly to the writing in the Guardian rather than the other online ...  Read the complete review

When I'm warming up at work for a days' cataloguing, there are two sources I always look to for reliable and well-informed news content. The Guardian website (www.guardian.co.uk) is one of these. I know that the paper is considered very liberal by many, but I've always found this to be a considerable advantage, as the journalists seems to be free (for the most part) to express themselves freely and honestly, without some of the scare mongering stories that make it into the quasi-tabloid press (you know, the ones that claim to be serious papers but still feature stories about Victoria Beckham!) The main articles are usually of a high standard and are ...  Read the complete review

Every morning I follow the same pattern, after my lecture at 10:00 am, I go to the shop to pick up my 15p (student price) Guardian, read the front and back pages in that seventies style kitchen and go off to another lecture. I start reading the paper again at about 10:00 pm with the dark, gloomy Glasgow night staring at me coldly outside. In the morning I read the editorials, letters and business section at breakfast and the cycle continues... On weekdays The Guardian is my guide to what is going on in the world around me. I spend most of my life within a five mile radius, so it would be all to easy to get colloquial. I read it because I agree with it on most ...  Read the complete review
