Yesterday, Alan Rusbridger, editor-in-chief of the Guardian, told the staff of his newspaper that now “all journalists work for the digital platform” and that they should regard “its demands as preeminent.”
Rusbridger also said that for a paper, success is “about holding your nerves.” He emphasized that they have “no loss of belief in the paper” as a paper.
The “principles” announced by Rusbridger (read them in my blog at http://www.innovationsinnewspapers.com/index.php/2007/03/07/247-newsroom-management-principles-for-the-guardiand-and-the-observer/) are very clear but more importan than themt is the strong leadership needed to implement this revolution.

But it was long enough for Rusbridger and Katz — a contemporary of mine at Oxford, who told me he hadn't been to Israel "since his bar mitzvah" — to see with their own eyes that the Israeli soldiers were courteous and polite to Palestinians.
Indeed, as I had told Rusbridger, probably the single most influential journalist in Israel — Rafik Halaby, the director of news at Israel's state-run Channel One TV — is an Arab.
In spite of all this, Rusbridger seems to me to be a divided man. From what I know of him, and from what I have heard from others, he remains friendlier to the Jewish state in private than do many in the British media.

  A pincer movement on the papers | Mike Butcher - mbites
Alan Rusbridger spoke to the Royal Society of Arts in London last Thursday night on the subject "Newspapers in the age of blogs." The Guardian's editor is almost certainly unique amongst British newspaper editors as having regularly supped with start-ups and Web 2.0 companies in Silicon Valley.
Rusbridger believes this would be a tragedy, not just because "You can't read a computer in the bath" but - like wandering through a second hand bookshop - there is a feeling of serendipity that you get from newspapers as you turn the page.
Rusbridger drew on an anecdote about a dinner he attended where representatives form the highest levels of politics, the military and judiciary were present, just after the Iraq war.

Went to Oxford last night to hear Alan Rusbridger of the Guardian give a talk entitled "Is it all over for bloggers?".
He quickly explained the title was ironic and that there was a need for an 'ironic' typeface - first good joke of the evening.
Alan must be worried about Craigslist hurting the profitability of the Guardian Media Group's cash cow, Auto Trader.

 The Scotsman - Business - Guardian of its own decline   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Rusbridger’s reason for not producing a tabloid edition was unconvincing: he wanted to maintain "the integrity of the Guardian’s journalism".
There was a time when Rusbridger dreamed of broadening the paper’s appeal, moving his tanks onto the Times’s lawn and aiming for 600,000 sales.
But Rusbridger has only been in the job since 1995, which is a relatively short span by Guardian standards.

But it was long enough for Rusbridger and Katz -- a contemporary of mine at Oxford who told me that he hadn't been to Israel "since his bar mitzvah" -- to see with their own eyes that the Israeli soldiers were courteous and polite to Palestinians.
Rusbridger and Katz also had a chance to observe that the local Arab shops were well stocked.
In spite of all this Rusbridger seems to me to be a divided man. From what I know of him, and from what I have heard from others, remains friendlier to the Jewish state in private than many in the British media.

 Israel, the Palestinians and the European media
He is, after all, heir to the great C. Scott, editor of the Guardian for 57 years, who (in Rusbridger's words) "fought tirelessly alongside Chaim Weizmann for the creation of the state of Israel." (Indeed it was Scott who introduced Weizmann to Arthur Balfour).
Goldenberg's news report in the Guardian, on the morning the prize was announced, was titled "Mutilated Children of a Crippled Palestine" — which gives a flavour of the kind of writing which had so impressed her fellow journalists.
About the same time as Rusbridger published his Spectator article, he wrote a massive editorial in the Guardian, running to well over 2,000 words, entitled, "Between Heaven and Hell." A pull-quote was reproduced in large type in a box on the Guardian's front page.

 Free Press : Press needs greater scrutiny, says Guardian editor
Guardian editor Alan Rusbridger has called on academics to play a greater role in scrutinising the role of the press as the industry faces up to unprecedented change.
Mr Rusbridger told an audience of academics and journalists at Sheffield University as he delivered the inaugural Hugo Young lecture last night that for generations there had been a “quiet understanding” of what newspapers were for.
Mr Rusbridger said discussion of the issues facing newspapers was surprisingly muted in society at large, with public service broadcasters such as the BBC and Channel 4 seemingly reluctant to discuss the issues at stake.

But it was long enough for Rusbridger and Katz - a contemporary of mine at Oxford, who told me he hadn't been to Israel "since his bar mitzvah" - to see with their own eyes that the Israeli soldiers were courteous and polite to Palestinians.
Indeed, as I had told Rusbridger, probably the single most influential journalist in Israel - Rafik Halaby, the director of news at Israel's state-run Channel One TV - is an Arab.In his article Rusbridger also made no reference to the many progressive elements of Israeli Jewish society which we had discussed in some detail.
It was headlined, "Palestinians feel the heat as police enforce beach apartheid: With peace looming, Israel is keen to establish areas for Jews only." The article itself began: In these early days of a sweltering summer, the long palm-dotted beaches of Tel Aviv are a natural escape.

 Dilpazier Aslam - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Aslam told Guardian editor Alan Rusbridger that he personally rejected anti-Semitism, but was not willing to leave Hizb ut-Tahrir and did not consider the website to be anti-Semitic.
Rusbridger and other executives decided that membership of Hizb ut-Tahrir was not compatible with membership of the newspaper's trainee scheme.
Aslam studied journalism at Sheffield University with the help of a bursary from the Sheffield Star.

The crucial point, which Rusbridger apparently fails to grasp, is that we provide such search results to +complement+ the in-depth analysis of the reporting and arguments that are presented in The Guardian's news and comment pages.
Rusbridger has yet to respond to the many substantive points made in these alerts.
Rusbridger argues that George Bush, Tony Blair and Donald Rumsfeld are "running the show".

ALAN RUSBRIDGER: They could show their faces but they weren't allowed to listen to their voices, so the voices had to be dubbed by actors, and I think in truth it had absolutely no impact at all beyond perhaps turning them into rather mysterious and glamorous figures.
ALAN RUSBRIDGER: Well it was a ridiculous restriction, and I think many people felt so at the time, but--she couldn't stomach it personally.
ALAN RUSBRIDGER: I, I sense it's, it's a kind of weary ritual that they feel obliged to go through in the hope that it will concentrate the minds of the editors.

 Talk by Alan Rusbridger
According to Mr Rusbridger, there is a disagreement between the media and politicians: journalists blame the politicians for the drop in interest in political affairs, and the politicians blame the journalists.
Mr Rusbridger went on to outline the accusations leveled at each party by the other, and asked his audience of CLSG students to indicate whether they agreed with each proposition.
Mr Rusbridger went on to show us a short television clip which was a perfect example of the discord between politicians and journalists: the clip showed Jeremy Paxman interviewing Robin Cook about Britain’s possible entry into the Euro.

More specifically we proposed that the Guardian should be willing to acknowledge and debate the significance of Herman and Chomsky's propaganda model - which explains the mechanics and effects of social filtering in the media - as part of an honest debate on the extent to which our “free press” truly is free.
Rusbridger recently responded: “Dear David, “I continue to be very pressed.
alan.” (Email to David Cromwell, February 6, 2004) Rusbridger acknowledges that our critique is interesting and worth discussing.

Yesterday, Alan Rusbridger, editor-in-chief of the Guardian, told the staff of his newspaper that now “all journalists work for the digital platform” and that they should regard “its demands as preeminent.”
Rusbridger said that some would find the content of yesterday’s meetings no-big-deal and others would find unease.
