Michael Crick on Journalism, the BBC and Farage
Description
Michael Crick is an Oxford-honed, long-haul chronicler of the Westminster circus. He’s run the whole gauntlet—from bare-knuckle TV newsrooms to writing biographies of colourful grandees, and chasing Cabinet Ministers down Whitehall.
Together, we explore how news got smarter (and sometimes not), why local papers are the canaries in the democratic coalmine, and how AI could blow it all apart.
With friends such as Robbie Gibb, what does Michael make of the latest BBC crisis? Are malign forces circling?
And as the biographer of Nigel Farage: why do voters like him, and why would governing by Reform—which already has form—be no laughing matter?
