Yesterday, Alan Rusbridger, editor-in-chief of the Guardian, told the staff of his newspaper that now “all journalists work for the digital platform” and that they should regard “its demands as preeminent.”
Rusbridger also said that for a paper, success is “about holding your nerves.” He emphasized that they have “no loss of belief in the paper” as a paper.
The “principles” announced by Rusbridger (read them in my blog at http://www.innovationsinnewspapers.com/index.php/2007/03/07/247-newsroom-management-principles-for-the-guardiand-and-the-observer/) are very clear but more importan than themt is the strong leadership needed to implement this revolution.

But it was long enough for Rusbridger and Katz — a contemporary of mine at Oxford, who told me he hadn't been to Israel "since his bar mitzvah" — to see with their own eyes that the Israeli soldiers were courteous and polite to Palestinians.
Indeed, as I had told Rusbridger, probably the single most influential journalist in Israel — Rafik Halaby, the director of news at Israel's state-run Channel One TV — is an Arab.
In spite of all this, Rusbridger seems to me to be a divided man. From what I know of him, and from what I have heard from others, he remains friendlier to the Jewish state in private than do many in the British media.
