Three if by internet
The Guardian’s American invasion is fully underway with the launch today of Guardian America. Unlike, say, the Times of London’s international home page — which is just de-Britted a bit — the Guardian is putting resources behind its American effort, with a staff in Washington and reporting aimed at the American audience. Here’s U.S. editor Michael Tomasky’s welcome letter and here’s an enjoyable defense/defence of their stubborn use of British spelling and style. (Disclosure: I write and consult for the Guardian. I’ll be there next week.)

Jeff, Something for U.S. newspapers and broadcast networks to think about. Why isn’t anyone over there interested in our news? The main reason I think is that our journalism dogma that artificially tries to separate fact from opinion makes our news dreadfully dull. (Steve Boriss, The Future of News)
