Editorial

Our journalists deliver agenda-setting investigations, break live news, and write compelling columns, interviews and features. They also produce award-winning podcasts, documentaries, explainers, and infographics and visuals. All of our reporting provides insight, analysis and opinion every step of the way.

Our mission is based on a moral conviction: that people long to understand the world they are in, and to create a better one. To use our clarity and imagination to build hope.
Katharine Viner Editor-in-chief

The Guardian has a global reputation for holding power to account and championing the voices of those less heard.

Our investigations have exposed governmental and social failings, including the Windrush revelations in the UK, Covid-19, Cambridge Analytica, the Snowden files, the Panama, Paradise and Pandora papers, and the Pegasus project.

We are committed to reporting with rigour on the climate emergency, social justice, fairness and progress. We remain dedicated to truth and to bringing about a more hopeful future for all.

Our impact

In 2021, we appointed Joseph Harker (pictured left) as our senior editor of diversity and development, focused on further improving the inclusivity of both the Guardian's editorial staff and its coverage.

In recent years, we've set up a programme of restorative justice in response to Guardian-led research that found links between our 19th-century founders and transatlantic slavery. This piece of work is called the Legacies of Enslavement project and it included an editorial series: Cotton Capital.

We continue to invest in global reporting, and in 2023, we launched our European digital edition, a brand new, English-language destination for Guardian readers in Europe and beyond. The new edition becomes the Guardian's fifth, alongside our successful UK, US, Australia and international editions.

Join us in shaping the future of journalism and driving impactful change on a global scale.
