The Guardian & 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. It’s basically the Guardian but released on a Sunday with more of a focus on investigative, long term, journalism. But it will still report on immediate news. It’s the oldest running Sunday newspaper and dates back to 1791!

Guardian is a liberal paper and doesn't follow one party
