Marr returned to "The Independent" as the newspaper's political editor in 1992, and its editor in 1996. His period as editor coincided with a particularly turbulent time at the paper. Faced with price cutting by the Murdoch-owned "Times", sales went into decline, and Marr made two attempts to arrest the slide. He made use of bold 'poster-style' front pages, and then in 1996, radically re-designed the paper along a

Marr has written several books on politics and journalism, notably "The Day Britain Died" (2000) — a state-of-the-nation reflection — and "My Trade: A Short History of British Journalism" (2004). The former was, in addition, a three-part television series; following "Newsnight" in the BBC2 schedules, 31 January 2000 – 2 February 2000. He has also written several articles for the British political magazine "Prospect".
Politics and bias
Marr has written about the need to remain impartial and "studiously neutral" whilst delivering news reports and "convey fact, and nothing more". [cite book | last =Marr | first =Andrew | title = My Trade: A short history of British Journalism | publisher = Macmillan | date =2004 | pages =p.279] Despite this, critics who have analysed Marr's reports assert that Marr's reporting represents an "establishment mouthpiece".Fact|date=November 2007 Marr responded to such criticisms as "pernicious anti-journalism". [
"I don't think anybody after this is going to be able to say of Tony Blair that he's somebody who is driven by the drift of public opinion, or focus groups, or opinion polls. He took all of those on. He said that they would be able to take Baghdad without a bloodbath, and that in the end the Iraqis would be celebrating. And on both of those points he has been proved conclusively right. And it would be entirely ungracious, even for his critics, not to acknowledge that tonight he stands as a larger man and a stronger prime minister as a result." [David Edwards andDavid Cromwell . "Guardians of Power". p.53]
In his 2007 TV history of Britain, he showed this sequence of himself and described it as an example of people being "carried away", perhaps an oblique acceptance of the criticism discussed above.
The same critics also presented comments written by Marr in "The Observer" newspaper in 1999 as evidence of Marr's lack of impartiality during the Kosovan crisis :
"Having said that I thought it was disastrous to start with, and I do, I want to put the Macbeth option: which is that we're so steeped in blood we should go further. If we really believe Milosevic is this bad, dangerous and destabilising figure we must ratchet this up much further. We should now be saying that we intend to put in ground troops. I don't believe this stuff about the Serbian army being an undefeatable, extraordinary, superhuman group.". [David Edwards andDavid Cromwell . "Guardians of Power". p.71]
In the "
In October 2006 Andrew Marr said: "The BBC is not impartial or neutral. It's a publicly funded, urban organisation with an abnormally large number of young people, ethnic minorities, and gay people. It has a liberal bias, not so much a party-political bias. It is better expressed as a cultural liberal bias."
