All change in leftie-luvvie media world today as Alan Rusbridger – the patron saint of openly biased left-wing hacks – finally departs the easy berth of Prospect magazine. Amusingly, liberal rag Prospect is owned by the same chap, Clive Cowdery, who owns the Resolution Foundation – no wonder it’s, er, soft on the government…
Guido has a number of moles inside the luvvie media sphere, who punctuate their matcha lattes with the occasional gossip about upcoming senior moves. They point to one interesting candidate it is rumoured could take on the post: none other than Tortoise’s embattled chief, former BBC man James Harding. His takeover bid made him, simultaneously, the new head honcho at The Observer…
As Guido has related over many months, all has not gone well in the new joint newsroom – so an exit might appeal. Alternatively, could straight-laced Prospect be next for acquisition on Tortoise’s liberal media roll-up list?
It would almost certainly offend the highfalutin hacks at Prospect, who – insiders say – deeply oppose Tortoise’s corporate links and funding model, also causing controversy at The Observer: “we couldn’t do anything like pay to play here, the kind of journalism where if you join the business club it doesn’t happen”, crowed one moralistic reporter. Prospect is not profitable and relies on philanthropy to survive – so a more commercially viable model would certainly be in its interests. Could the slow news Tortoise again come out of its shell for another new enterprise?
