In 1971, the English edition of the French daily newspaper "Le Monde" folded and the "Weekly" took on its 12,000-strong subscription list as well as four pages of "Le Monde" copy. A content deal was made with the "Washington Post" in 1975. Dedicated pages from both publications augmented "Guardian" articles until a redesign in 1993, under new editor Patrick Ensor, led to their articles appearing across the "Weekly". In the same year, content from "The Observer" began to appear after the UK Sunday title was purchased by Guardian Media Group.
