     Home | Journalist | Alan Rusbridger



Alan Charles Rusbridger (born 29 December 1953 in Northern Rhodesia) is the son of the late G H Rusbridger, the Director of Education of Northern Rhodesia (now Zambia). He has been editor of The Guardian since 1995. Previously he was a reporter, columnist, features editor and the deputy editor of The Guardian. Briefly, he worked for The Observer as a critic and was Washington Editor of the ill-fated London Daily News before returning to The Guardian in 1987.

Alan Rusbridger Video

The prevailing view, as reported by the BBC and other news organisations, is that Julian Assange of Wikileaks had released the confidential US files, stolen by Private First Class Bradley Manning, to several newspapers, initially The Guardian, The New York Times and Der Spiegel, thus creating the impression that Assange had masterminded the US's global humiliation. However this video shows that the proactive party behind the campaign was actually the British newspaper The Guardian; and that the persons most culpable are the paper's Editor Alan Rusbridger and his Investigations Editor David Leigh. The video goes on to reveal the anti-American activism of The Guardian's Associate Editor Seumas Milne; and concludes with a clip in which The Guardian is accused of perverting the official inquiry into the "Cash for Questions" political controversy, which helped bring down John Major's Conservative government.
