Scotts Trust Values

Scott's Trust Values:

-Regardless of the Observer being print and online, they are still owned by the Scott Trust, which exists to ensure newspapers are independent and carry on a liberal tradition:

Believes in the rights of each individual (human rights)

That all individuals are of equal worth (democracy)

All people of the world are of equal worth

Representations should:

Promote democracy (equality) and human rights 

Celebrate individuality, diversity, tolerance and allowing opposing points of view

Care for people no matter what in the world they live in (internationalism)

Be open-minded about change

-The Observer & Guardian do not support one any political party. It is key that writers express different political views.

Political point of view is liberal, articles should criticise:

Extreme right-wing ideas (that limit freedom for some groups)

Extreme left-wing ideas (that limit freedom of individuals)
