The Guardian is a privately owned company headquartered in the UK. Founded in 1821, the company, with approximately 2,470 employees, specializes in book and periodical publishing. Functioning as a newspaper group, it operates theguardian.com, The Guardian newspaper, and The Observer.
On April 24, 2026, The Guardian proposed a story discussing sustainability in Australian education and its increasing consumerization, suggesting that "green shopping" could oversimplify a public matter. Previously, on April 23, The Guardian reported on Iran’s deputy president, Esmaeil Saqab Esfahani, warning the United States of "an eye for an eye" over oil strikes and threatening to attack the oil facilities of countries from whose soil Iranian oil wells are targeted. Also on April 23, an editorial from The Guardian highlighted that the Conservative government’s help-to-buy scheme disproportionately benefited high-earners, with the Institute for Fiscal Studies (IFS) concluding that the top 10% of earners received the largest cash benefit. Earlier, on April 22, the publication covered the United Nations Permanent Forum on People of African Descent in Geneva, which included discussions on the practicalities of reparations following a broadly positive community response to a UN vote on enslavement.
