Josiah Mortimer /
@josiahmortimer: Speaking as an Observer subscriber (obvs), & someone who likes Tortoise, I am very intrigued to see how this works and what might change I imagine many of the Observer's current buyers are off the back of the (massive) Guardian news site, and Guardian/Obvs joint subs packages...

Hadley Freeman /
@hadleyfreeman: Shocking. The Obs is an invaluable part of The Guardian brand - Nigel Slater, OFM, fantastic arts and political coverage.... This wd be such a loss to The G. Sending love to all Obs writers and editors who I'm sure are feeling extremely anxious now thru no fault of their own xxx

Robert Largan /
@robertlargan: Another takeover by a shell company.

Charles Arthur /
@charlesarthur: Two ways this could go: Tortoise buys Obs, struggles to make the paper version worth it, whole lot gets folded back into Guardian Media Group; or Tortoise buys Obs which sputters out as a physical product and the journalists work for Tortoise as a digital product.

James Ball /
@jamesrbuk: The Scott Trust has a specific duty to protect the *Guardian* in perpetuity. It used to own Manchester Evening News, AutoTrader and others. Observer now the last one. It's an obvious potential source of tension when one title is by mandate raised above others.

James Ball /
@jamesrbuk: Wow. The Obs is a very different paper from the Guardian, but has always suffered online from not having its own distinct identity. This could be a real opportunity for it - but is a fairly huge shift. @martinsfp@threads.net: Whaaaaaaat?! This is wild.
