Harriet Sherwood from the Guardian said in a talk she had at City University last year that “The Guardian is not a newspaper with a website but a website with a newspaper.”
I use guardian.co.uk everyday and especially during the American election when the coverage was fantastic. Michael Tomasky’s blog is great because of the small videos that he uploads. The day after I wrote my “change” entry on this blog he uploaded a short video on the same topic.
The way that the Gurdian uses its website is a little peek into the future, very interactive and updated quite often. The hardest thing – as we all know – is how to make money in the newspaper world but because of the structure of the Guardian they don’t have to worry as much about that, so instead they can focus on making good journalism online. The only news website that just get a bit close to the Guardian.co.uk is news.bbc.co.uk.
