In this month’s Press Gazette magazine Observer editor John Mulholland gives his first ever in-depth interview as the title embarks on a make or break relaunch.
In it, he says:
– The relaunch will probably lose readers.
– GMG is now committed to The Observer’s future.
– Web-first is not always the best policy for Observer content.
– The Observer should break even financially from next month.
