  1. Just finished "Breaking News" by @arusbridger - a brilliant riposte to critics of the Guardian during the phone hacking / WikiLeaks / Snowden years, and a stirring account of the need for journalism in the post-fake news era.

      Also great to see various @gdndevelopers achievements called out (including the Content API, Ophan, mutualisation and other big projects). Feel really proud to have worked on some of those things during that turbulent and exiting period.

        Er, exciting period. Wouldn't be a Guardian tribute without a typo.

        Not sure I can think of another "Fleet Street" editor capable of recognising the need for those kind of innovations (and acknowledging the desire of us tech folks to work closely with journalists). A good read.
