The Guardian has been a voice for independent journalism since 1821. Originally the Manchester Guardian, it grew into one of the world's most respected newspapers, known for breaking major stories like the Snowden NSA revelations and the Panama Papers. Uniquely among major newspapers, The Guardian is owned by a trust rather than shareholders, protecting its editorial independence. With reporters across the globe, they offer perspectives often missing from US-centric news. On Tera.fm, we bring you The Guardian's world coverage in audio — global news without the paywall.
