After 20 years at the helm, Alan Rusbridger edited his last edition of the Guardian on Friday. What has he achieved? What is the future of campaigning newspapers like the Guardian?

He started by sharing his thoughts on how the paper had changed during his time in charge.

On whether he thought the paper鈥檚 views were out of sync with the rest of the country Rusbridger told Today:

鈥淚 think it鈥檚 important that in a diverse press that you have papers that express many views and it鈥檚 really important that the Guardian is there to express a world view... It鈥檚 read now by seven million people a day so I don鈥檛 think it鈥檚 really out of kilter鈥�.

On the criticism from the security services of the paper鈥檚 publication of the Edward Snowden files Rusbridger said:

鈥淭hat鈥檚 what journalism is there to do to bring this sort of stuff into the open鈥� The British intelligence services are critical of course; they would rather have kept all this secret. What I hear from them when I meet them is鈥� they accept that this stuff had to be discussed and debated鈥�.
