Is the media too powerful and too invasive? Do those who work to keep the powerful in check, really need to check themselves? And does the pursuit of tears by television journalists demean both journalism and the talent?   

These are questions UK journalist John Lloyd, with five decades of journalism, editing and book writing under his belt, wrestles with. In 2004 he published 'What the Media Are Doing to Our Politics' and in 2017 'The Power and the Story'. In 2006 he co-founded the Reuters Institute for the Study of Journalism at the University of Oxford. More recently, John joined the International Advisory Council at the Judith Nielsen Institute for Journalism and Ideas.
