"Social media and disgusting characters like Tommy Robinson" are to blame for the UK riots, The Sun editor tells @katierazz

Editor-in-Chief of The Sun, Victoria Newton, claims that social media shoulders a blame for recent news events played out on UK streets and more needs to be done to regulate the companies. The Media Show | Listen on BBC Sounds

Worth your time this. An insight into a remarkable piece of on-the-spot reporting by a brilliant journalist.

This is the BBC's Gary O'Donoghue (@BBCBlindGazza) talking to The Media Show about his interview with Greg Smith, who described what he'd seen in the moments before the attempted assassination of Donald Trump.

Anna Moneymaker is a Getty Images staff photographer. She took one of the defining images of the attempted assassination of Donald Trump. In this clip from The Media Show on @BBCRadio4, Anna describes to @katierazz how she got the picture.

Brilliant reporting from Gary O’Donoghue @BBCBlindGazza - he knew instinctively how to handle an extraordinary situation.

Is Biden's health "one of the best coverups of all time, one that would make Richard Nixon envious" or did reporters ignore it "because they didn't want to help Donald Trump"? Fascinating from @JillAbramson on BBC Media Show with @AnnieLinskey @nayeema

Why have mainstream US journalists been largely silent on Biden's health until now? On this week's Media Show some big names in US journalism @JillAbramson @AnnieLinskey @nayeema shared their thoughts on the theories swirling since THAT debate @BBCRadio4 @BBCSounds @BBCRosAtkins

BABY REINDEER ALERT: @piersmorgan came on the Media Show earlier and told me why he's not planning to pay alleged 'real Martha' Fiona Harvey any more money, despite her saying she wants £1 million after her interview with him. More with me & @BBCRosAtkins on @BBCSounds @BBCRadio4

Gladiators fans... here's Dan Baldwin of Hungry Bear Media confirming to me and @katierazz that there's a celebrity series coming. And saying he'd love to bring Blind Date back -with Claudia Winkleman at the helm. All from this week's 60-minute edition of The Media Show.

AFP is one of the biggest news agencies. I asked its Global News Director, Phil Chetwynd, if AFP would consider Kensington Palace a trusted source, after the edited photo of the Princess of Wales & her children. 'Absolutely not' was the reply. Here's the exchange on @BBCRadio4

On this week's Radio 4 Media Show we spoke to the photo journalists covering (and playing a role in) the Princess of Wales picture story. They were frank about what they've learned.

"You're really going to embarrass yourself if you do anything on this" - the Post Office PR tactics according to @nickwallis

"The Post Office, robustly defending its position was a big reason why this story did not get away." @katierazz is joined by Journalists Ian Hislop, Nick Wallis and others debate why it took a TV drama for a huge injustice to get the headline it deserved. A Post Office…

Travelling home from work yesterday, @BBCRadio4 in my ears, this was a joy to listen to 🥰

Thanks to Meera Syal for being our guest on The Media Show this week. In this clip, we hear how a Sunday school trip to a pantomime in Stoke had a huge impact. The full 30-minute interview here on @BBCSounds bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m0…

Thanks @BBCRosAtkins for hosting - for all its faults, the BBC is still one of the news organizations prepared to ask tough questions about its own coverage. Also reminder - CPJ says 17 journalists so far killed in the conflict cpj.org/2023/10/journa…

Timely & important episode of the Media Show with @BBCRosAtkins interviewing @Reuters@aagalloni, @AFP’s @philchet, @rburgessbbc, @emilybell & @IsobelYeung on reporting #Israel #Gaza bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m0…

Daniel Kaluuya shares a brilliant story about how he wrote his first place at nine years old. Daniel spoke to Kirsty Young as part of Radio 4’s new podcast Young Again as we find out what he would say to his younger self, knowing what he knows now. Young Again with Kirsty Young…
