Motivation
[edit]The Observer (Q336197) is the oldest Sunday newspaper and a prominent British newspaper. While it was owned by The Guardian (Q11148) for over twenty years, it was recently purchased by Tortoise Media (Q104876463). As a result, it now has a separate website from that of its old owner. Many prominent British journalists have contributed to it over the course of its existence. Susmuffin (talk) 10:52, 5 July 2025 (UTC)
