Guardian Headhunters Reach Out to New York for Ideas, Candidates

By: Joe Pompeo | Capital New York

The four insiders publicly vying to beThe Guardian's next editor in chief released their vision statements today ahead of the group's Feb. 25 presentations to the British news organization's editorial staff members, who will then vote on which of the candidates should be guaranteed a spot on the short-list of finalists.

 

Meanwhile, an external recruitment firm retained by The Guardian's ownership, The Scott Trust, has cast a wide net on both sides of the Atlantic with its own search, which is separate from the newsroom ballot.
