Description

Katie Razzall and Ros Atkins on some of the week's biggest media stories: How are journalists reporting on the Israel Iran conflict in the UK and around the world? We talk to Shaina Oppenheimer from BBC Monitoring and Shashank Joshi Defence Editor at the Economist. The traditional pipeline of journalists moving into radio and television presentation is increasingly being replaced by the new social media influencers. Caroline Frost Columnist at the Radio Times and Sarah Carson Chief Culture Writer and Contributing Editor at the i paper discuss the trend and Laura Nestler from Reddit on how the platform, which celebrates its twentieth anniversary this year, has become the fastest growing social media outlet in the UK.
