This week’s riots aren’t happening in a vacuum. We’re living and breathing on platforms that billionaires have optimised for outrage. This is the world that social media made. My piece for The Observer with contributions from the great Maria Ressa + more theguardian.com/media/article/…

Next week I am cycling from Venice to Rome (around 400miles over 4 days) to raise funding for secondary breast cancer research at the ICR. Please think about supporting, 100% of your donation will go to funding a PhD student… justgiving.com/page/ian-tucke…

Aiming to live past 100? You're probably wasting your time. Really enjoyed writing my first feature for @TheObserver The Observer New Review theguardian.com/science/2024/o…

A warning to newspaper owners everywhere of what happens when you betray your values and undermine the relationship you have with your readers. What happens when owners don't understand the values that underpin journalism.

Here's why I think the proposed sale of the Observer to Tortoise would severely damage the reputation of the Scott Trust and threaten the future of the world's oldest Sunday newspaper, which I edited until last weekend 🧵

The sole reason to remain here

I don’t think this deal passes the smell test. Surely the Scott Trust has a duty to protect the culture, ethos and heritage of the 233 year old Observer rather than bundling it hurriedly into a rather weird, loss making media non-entity.

SaveTheObserver For the last 30 years I’ve written most of my journalism for the Guardian and Observer. Here's my take on where things stand on the Guardian’s plan to sell the Observer to the loss-making start up Tortoise Media.

I will be joining my colleagues at the Guardian and Observer who are on strike for 48 hours over the sale of the Observer. It ends at 23.59 GMT on Friday 13 December. For more information please follow @GONUJ93 and NUJ or visit nuj.org.uk/savetheobserver
