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 February 25, 2026, the Corporate Officer of the House of Lords initiated procurement for a supplier to provide online recruitment advertising via the Guardian jobs website. This follows The Guardian's announcement on September 16, 2025, that it is transitioning to a "privacy-first" model for its online advertising services, moving away from third-party cookies to deliver more consistent campaign performance and a high-quality ad experience. Earlier, on September 4, 2025, Guardian News & Media Ltd was involved in the High Court case of Clarke v Guardian News & Media Ltd, which addressed applications for the disclosure of documents, specifically regarding certified transcripts of non-privileged conversations and the removal of redactions, with the claimant citing legal grounds tied to the protection of journalistic sources.
