Rusbridger lists the paper’s ten principles of open journalism: essentially it is journalism which embraces information from others and enters into a dialogue with the wider world.
The issues he addressed in the chat include:
Transparency
Rusbrider said that the paper does already give background data in the form of facts and figures in some cases so that readers can make their own judgments. But “we could, and should, do more, he continued. “I've always been keen on the idea of footnotes. Difficult in print, easier on the web. Ditto links.”
Paywalls and advertising
During a session of the Open Weekend on what readers might be prepared to give back to the newspaper in return for journalism, Rusbridger said that paid online content has not been ruled out, Journalism.co.uk reported. He clarified in the online chat that the Guardian continues to keep an “interested eye on the economic models of other newspapers, particularly the New York Times,” but that “there's nothing on the horizon.”
When asked about potential pressure from advertisers he responded:“There are clearly dangers in over dependence on advertising, but, broadly I think it's been a beneficial factor in newspaper publishing over the centuries ... and will continue to be.”
