PigGate, privatising Channel 4, & the end of online comments
Show Notes
Rachel Oldroyd, Managing Editor at The Bureau of Investigative Journalism, and Aidan Radnedge, Chief Reporter at Metro, join Paul Blanchard to discuss the latest media headlines. This week: Should newspapers have reprinted the PigGate allegations when they were based on only one source? Would privatising Channel 4 jeopardise the quality of its output? And will more news websites turn off comments because they are expensive and difficult to moderate?
