- The Guardian and Observer

The Guardian is a daily newspaper published by the Guardian group and owned by the Scott Trust. 

The Observer is the Sunday newspaper published by the Guardian group. With more focus on investigative, long-term, journalism. But it still will report on immediate news. It's the oldest running Sunday newspaper and it dates back to 1791.

THEY FOLLOW THE FIVE PRINCIPLES:

- Develop ideas that help to improve the world, not just critique it.
- Collaborate with readers and others to have greater impact.
- Diversify to have richer reporting from a representative newsroom.
- Be meaningful in all our work.
- Report fairly on people as well as power and find things out. This underpins all the above.

How do political contexts influence Newspapers?

- Labour/Conservative parties
- Donald Trump (everything to do with him lol)
- Boris Johnson
- Jeremy Corbyn
- Who's going to be the democratic leader against Trump
- Corona Virus government decisions

Newspapers are owned by individuals with their own political and social agenda's, therefore everything in that newspaper will reflect their beliefs.

IDEOLOGY = A system of ideas and ideals, especially one which forms the basis of economic or political theory and policy.

The Guardian/ Observer is a liberal newspaper, however it tends to subtle favour Labour.
