A collective comment blog launched by Guardian Unlimited.
It will incorporate all the regular Guardian and Observer main commentators, many blogging for the first time, who will be joined by a host of outside contributors – politicians, academics, writers, scientists, activists and of course existing bloggers to debate, argue and occasionally agree on the issues of the day.
Why are we launching it now? Because it’s obvious to us that our major competition for opinion and debate is moving online, and unless we move with it, we’re failing our journalists and future generations of readers.
my emphasis
Guardian has consistently been one of the most flexible newspaper institutions around. This is just one step forward. Our newspapers however are still not getting it.
