Theguardian.com is the digital heartbeat of a 204-year-old newspaper that refuses to erect a paywall. Since migrating online in 1999, the site has grown into a 24-hour global newsroom serving 25 million unique browsers each day, with two-thirds of that traffic originating outside the United Kingdom. From a converted cotton mill in Kings Cross, 600 journalists file in English, Arabic and Hindi, while satellite bureaus in Sydney, Hong Kong, Washington, Lagos and Mexico City ensure the sun never sets on Guardian coverage.
Investigative rigour remains the calling card. The 2013 Edward Snowden revelations, published in partnership with the Washington Post, exposed the NSA’s bulk-data dragnet and earned the Pulitzer Prize for Public Service. More recently, the “Pegasus Project” consortium led by Guardian editors uncovered how military-grade spyware sold to 40 governments targeted journalists, human-rights lawyers and even heads of state; the series triggered parliamentary inquiries on four continents and export-license suspensions in Israel and Spain. Every leak undergoes a three-layer verification process: technical forensic analysis, legal consultation under UK defamation law, and an internal “sensitivity board” that weighs public interest against personal harm.
The newsroom’s centre-left stance is declared in an editorial code posted on every page, yet opinion and reportage are physically separated. Columnists such as Owen Jones and Polly Toynbee argue for progressive taxation and climate action on dedicated “Comment is Free” pages, while breaking-news live-blogs use neutral phrasing and link to primary documents court filings, scientific papers, leaked spreadsheets so readers can audit sourcing in real time.
This transparency ethos extends to corrections: errors are struck through in red at the top of articles, accompanied by a timestamp and editor’s note explaining what changed and why.
Funding comes from readers, not advertisers. After watching digital ad rates plummet 40 % between 2016 and 2018, Guardian Media Group pivoted to a voluntary membership model. Supporters can contribute £5 a month or make one-time gifts; in return they receive fewer on-site appeals and access to the “Guardian Extra” newsletter that discloses upcoming investigations. By 2023 reader revenue exceeded £50 million annually, covering 55 % of editorial costs and insulating coverage from corporate pressure. No shareholder dividends are paid; profits are reinvested into climate, inequality and human-rights reporting.
Sport, culture and lifestyle verticals attract younger audiences who may arrive for a Champions League match tracker and stay for long-reads on refugee policy. The “Football Weekly” podcast averages 1.2 million downloads per episode, while interactive guides such as “How to read the IPCC report in five charts” distill complex science into shareable visuals. Whether chronicling COP negotiations, live-blogging royal funerals or explaining why lettuce prices tripled overnight, theguardian.com delivers open-access journalism Platform financed by citizens who believe factual, fearless reporting is a public good worth paying for.
