So, The Observer has (now) been sold to Tortoise, with the Scott Trust taking a (small) interest in Tortoise & fielding a board member to ensure continuity for the paper.... while those unwilling to move have been offered voluntary severance packages & the possibility of applying for similar jobs at The Guardian.

Hopefully, now, The Observer can really distinguish itself from its erstwhile daily counterpart.

Lets hope it works as intended by James Harding
