The Media Show with Katie Razzall and Ros Atkins:
The Nottingham Post and BBC-funded Local Democracy Reporters have been banned from speaking to Reform UK councillors. The dispute centres on a story about local government reorganisation. Nottinghamshire Live Senior Editor Natalie Fahy joins us to explain what happened, and Kitty Donaldson, Chief Political Commentator at the i paper, explores Reform UK’s broader media strategy.
France is facing political upheaval as Prime Minister François Bayrou submits his government to a confidence vote. BBC Paris correspondent Hugh Schofield explains how Bayrou is using podcasts and YouTube to justify his unpopular budget cuts. Meanwhile, a new protest movement, Bloquons Touts (“Let’s block everything”), is gaining traction via Telegram. Paola Sedda, associate professor of communications at the University of Lille, joins us to discuss how the movement is using media to mobilise support.
Historian Richard Evans joins us live in the studio to discuss his new book on George Ward Price, the British journalist who interviewed Hitler in the run up to WWII. We explore the ethical compromises journalists make for access, and draw modern parallels with today’s media landscape.
And as Anna Wintour steps down, Vogue ushers in a new chapter with editor Chloe Malle. We look at what this means for the future of fashion journalism and the legacy Wintour leaves behind. Is this a generational shift or a strategic pivot?
