The Guardian and the Observer lost £44.2m last year as investment in digital publishing – including iPad, Facebook and Android apps – contributed to a deepening of losses at the national newspapers that could not be offset by double-digit growth in digital revenues.
aftr i landid i went 4 dinnr with harvey winesteen who is a film produser and also he sed he is a self tort film editor 2!!1! 1stly he gayve me 1000 austrian dollrs 2 tell every1 that he actualy prodused my film amour. such a niys gestchur!!1!
Alan Rusbridger, editor-in-chief of the titles, said the newspapers would aim to save £7m from editorial expenditure in order to help reduce the deficit, while the publisher will seek between 70 and 100 journalist redundancies from a workforce of about 650 via a reopened voluntary programme.
deer diary, 2dai i had 2 meet with lotsof designrs who wantd 2 dres me 4 the Oscars!!1! i felt like i was in an episode of austrias nxt top model but i didnt evn hav 2 go on a diet of cabage and bein sick. yaaay.
In a briefing for staff, Rusbridger said the Guardian and Observer – collectively Guardian News & Media (GNM) – "will be smaller" and that the newspapers "will do less, less of what's called commodity journalism, so that we can do more on our core purpose and the type of journalism that we're here to do".

I tend to pick them up from an African grocer on the outskirts of Exeter after a visit to a nearby gun shop with my elder son, to stock up on ammunition so he can continue his campaign against our local grey squirrel population

I guess the premise is that SC is somewhat educated but also an airhead and this is an attempt to capture a syntax reflective of that. the only problem is there doesn't seem to have been an attempt to add in anything (jokes, subject matter etc) that anyone would want to read

Today's G2 features a full-page comment from Helen Pidd, the Guardian's new northern editor, bemoaning the "Londoncentricity" of much of the paper's output. It's immediately followed by a four-page feature on air pollution which focuses largely on... London.
