Editorial signature
Owned in perpetuity by the Scott Trust since 1936, the paper broke the Snowden / NSA files with Glenn Greenwald, the Panama Papers with the ICIJ, and the Cambridge Analytica story with Carole Cadwalladr, and runs Polly Toynbee and Owen Jones as its signature left-of-Labour columnists. The reader-funded model — no hard paywall, supporter contributions surfacing on every article — is itself the masthead's most public editorial commitment.
