What is the Guardian 100 and who are the panellists who create it?
The Guardian 100 is a list of the most influential movers and shakers within the media industry. They are based upon 3 criteria - their cultural, economic and political influence in the UK. This ranges across the media industry including broadcasting, publishing, new media, advertising, marketing and PR. However due to economic pressures it has resulted as a force for change in the media landscape, to the advantage of some industry figures – and the disadvantage of others.
