For Guardian, N.S.A. coup is validation of its strategy
International Herald Tribune, 12/06/2013, p.15, Christine Haughney; Noam Cohen
Charlie Beckett, director of Polis, a media research group affiliated with the London School of Economics, said plans for growth internationally could help offset losses back home. “The Guardian is desperately trying to become globally recognized. They do it because they care,” Mr. Beckett said. “But it’s also part of their global business strategy.”

Aristotle and the allotments
Financial Times, 12/06/2013, p.3, James Pickford
London’s mayor spurned the dry designs of the genre and published his long-awaited plan as a handy booklet with the “The Greatest City on Earth” embossed in silver lettering on the front. Inside, it bears the hallmarks of Mr Johnson’s colourful journalistic style, with references to Aristotle, Constantinople and an “aerotropolis” in the Thames Estuary. Tony Travers, governance expert at the London School of Economics, said: “I’ve not seen anything quite like it before. It’s a hybrid of a city plan, a guidebook and, some might say, a manifesto.”

Investors must learn to respect long-term thinking
Financial Times, 12/06/2013, p.2, Sarah Murray
One of the messages to emerge from last year’s review of equity markets by John Kay, the London School of Economics professor and FT columnist, was the need to move away from the culture of short-termism. This is critical when it comes to corporate sustainability strategies, whether conserving natural resources or fostering healthy communities. Yet in espousing this long-term approach, companies face a number of obstacles.
