Sky News Arabia’s former GM slams The Guardian’s ‘lazy journalism’ on IMI deal

LONDON: The former head of Sky News Arabia has ridiculed The Guardian’s reporting on the termination of the TV news joint venture between Sky UK and its regional partner IMI, accusing the British newspaper of “lazy journalism” and of misrepresenting the reasons behind the decision. IMI and Sky UK announced on Sunday the dissolution of their joint venture, under which Sky News Arabia had operated since 2010. Under a new multi-year brand licensing agreement, the channel will retain the Sky name despite Sky relinquishing its operational and editorial role.
