Journalists at the Guardian and the Observer are on Thursday beginning a second 48-hour strike in protest at the proposed sale of the Observer newspaper to Tortoise Media, which was agreed in principle last week.

The industrial action follows a similar two-day strike last week, which was the first at the Guardian in more than 50 years. The new 48-hour strike is due to take place on Thursday 12 December and Friday 13 December.
