The bigger picture

I began my new world of online phone reading of the Guardian and other news services in 2020 when, just as the bushfires finished and Covid struck, I found myself with a sold home and an acquired responsibility for a beloved aged family member who was going into dementia. I could secure a temporary home for her, but ended up renting a tiny room, 2.9 m2 square plus bathroom for myself, albeit with a kind stranger…
The Guardian became my intellectual stimulus and challenge when I woke up, and my solace and cultural joy before bedtime.
My worldview has expanded, my preconceptions confronted.
In the 2 years of a suspended life, awaiting the building of a home for my dependent and myself, I learned to grapple with new perspectives and hitherto unrecognised realities. I grew to appreciate the nuances of truth, and the array of persuasive advocacy of world class journalists who are passionate, aware, and bold in their reporting.
Finally ensconced in our new home in December 2022, I am addicted to The Guardian. There was -an is - a Bigger Picture. Thank you!

What can I say...

Simply the best online daily newspaper around now. Not perfect, they have some biases, they can’t stand Jeremy Corbyn or Julian Assange and their biases become apparent after reading it a while. Their headlines can bear hardly any relation to the article below and sometimes incomprehensible sentences require reading and rereading to discover the word left out by mistake or how useful punctuation can be and the damage done to communication now and again by not “ proofreading” sufficiently. These instances are all rare in my experience.

However they research events, investigate corruption and have writers who think about the implications of changes in politics and convey them well and often/usually impartially. Frequently I think The Guardian might even be changing the world significantly for the better.

The have some very funny writers, good cartoonists, top thinkers in the world write articles for them. They have detailed long articles, “Long Reads” of terrific standard. They invest money in what they write and don’t just reprint press releases from parties they like, which seems to get more and more common elsewhere.

A hugely diverse group of journalists write for them and they are financially independent. They appeal to a more left wing readership and as a result don’t need to lie to keep in with rich benefactors, which is a massive advantage as far as reporting the truth is concerned.

How sorry I am that they have so little competition.
