 OJR article: The Guardian of the Web
The paper's most famous editor, Charles Prestwich Scott, believed independence was key to a newspaper's mission: "Whatever its position or character, at least it should have a soul of its own."
The Guardian's independence was cemented in 1936 when ownership of the paper was transferred to the Scott Trust, a charity that reinvests all profits and leaves all responsibility for the running of the newspaper to the editor -- currently Alan Rusbridger, who has been at the helm since 1995.
In 1998, Rusbridger decided to start a Web site -- now called Guardian Unlimited -- for The Guardian and its sister paper, The Observer, published on Sundays.
