Modern White Knights

Abstract

The three newspaper groups studied in the previous chapter now have mature and stable “trustee” governance structures. Each has faced challenges, and made changes to achieve either stability or commercial competitiveness. All have nonetheless remained remarkably true to the vision of the men who saw these three publications as bastions of liberal journalism. By “keeping the faith”, The Guardian, the Irish Times and the Tampa Bay Times continue to enjoy journalistic reputations that set them apart from many of the other newspapers in their respective countries.
