Adam Boulton on GB News, Due Impartiality and Navigating a Fractured Party System

Adam Boulton, former Political Editor of Sky News and now a Times Radio presenter, discusses the political turbulence surrounding Keir Starmer’s position and the state of news coverage after local election results appeared to confirm the end of our old binary politics. We explore whether the rise of multi‑party politics affects ‘due impartiality’ and the substance and depth of broadcast coverage. We reflect on what’s working, what isn’t, and what might come next for political journalism: the state of public debate, whether GB News should have its licence revoked, and the changing nature of political communication and engagement. To support our journalism and receive a weekly blog sign up now for £1.99 per month www.patreon.com/BeebWatch/[email protected]@BeebRogerInstagram: rogerboltonsbeebwatchLinkedIn: Roger Bolton's Beeb Watchemail: [email protected] Hosted on Acast.
