UK Gov consultation on AI closes midnight. The govt must stand with the creative industries that make Britain great & enforce our copyright laws to allow creatives to assert their rights in the age of AI. The NUJ’s a member of the Creative Rights In AI Coalition urging govt to protect rightsholders

As a longtime reader and subscriber of the Guardian and Observer I'm disappointed by the complete absence of information given to readers about the Observer sale. Over the last five months the only information I have seen has come via the Press Gazette.

"The Trust claims the Observer was facing an existential crisis. But they failed to raise this once with me during my 6-year editorship which ended last month. And when I asked to address the Trust to make the case opposing the deal, the chair refused."
The announcement of the sale of The Observer to Tortoise Media is a grim end to a shaming episode for the Scott Trust.🧵

The Observer strike is about the future of liberal journalism - in the same week when the Murdoch succession drama plays out in court. My column www.prospectmagazine.co.uk/ideas/media/...
The Observer strike is about the future of liberal journalism. We should be worried
The sale of the Observer has prompted the biggest staff strike in more than 50 years and created a fracture that will be hard to heal

Good morning.
So many readers came to support our strike yesterday. This is John Dickinson, a lifelong reader of The Guardian like his parents before him. (1/2)

A terrible decision by GMG and Scott Trust.
Latest on Guardian selling off The Observer from the FT (paywall removed). It's going ahead today, evidently. No attempt at justification from the Scott Trust. Shameful. @gonuj.org on.ft.com/4fXDvqj
