Tomorrow marks the 25th anniversary of the first miners striking at Cortonwood colliery in Yorkshire, followed by the nationwide miners' strike which dragged on until the spring of 1985. Steve discusses the role of the media in the strike with Stewart Purvis, former Editor in Chief and CEO of ITN, now Content and Standards Partner at Ofcom and Nicholas Jones who reported on the strike for BBC Radio.
Chairman of ITV, Michael Grade announced today that profits at ITV were down 40% on the previous year and to compensate he plans to cut 600 more jobs. Steve discusses the results with media analyst Matthew Horsman.
This week in the House of Commons MP Denis MacShane raised concerns about the connection between democracy and independent journalism which he believes to be under threat in the UK. He discusses his views on the erosion of the print media and the future for local newspapers.
Yesterday, in his first piece as editor of The Evening Standard, Geordie Greig said that that "From today this newspaper takes a fundamentally optimistic view of life" and went on to say that the newspaper was going to be "life affirming". But will good news sell? Ann Leslie joins Steve to proffer her views.
