Broadcasting Gaza: Doctors Under Attack, Tim Franks, F1’s media strategy

from The Media Show · host BBC Radio 4

As Channel 4 airs the Gaza documentary that the BBC has shelved, we speak to Dorothy Byrne, former Head of News and Current Affairs at Channel 4; Rosamund Urwin from The Sunday Times; and Chris Banatvala, former Director of Standards at Ofcom, about why the broadcasters took contrasting decisions. They also analyse the BBC’s much criticised broadcasting of Bob Vylan’s IDF chants at Glastonbury. What’s it like to do your job when people assume you’re biased due to your personal identity? Newshour presenter Tim Franks discusses his new book The Lines We Draw: The Journalist, the Jew and an Argument About Identity. As the British Grand Prix kicks off this Sunday, we discuss the F1’s media strategy with F1 journalist Rebecca Clancy and broadcaster Steve Rider.
