Is the UK media obsessed with Westminster?

from The Media Show · host BBC Radio 4

There’s an almighty ruckus going on in Holyrood, but London-based media seem to be finding the story difficult to follow. Is the UK media too focused on Westminster to cover politics properly? Plus BBC Three is returning to televisions as a broadcast channel, six years after it lost the spot. But is this a clever ploy to win back younger viewers – or an anxious attempt to compete with the streaming giants? Guests: Callum Baird, editor of The National; Frank O'Donnell, editor of Aberdeen Journals Ltd; Lara O'Reilly, Media Editor at Insider; Teddy Nygh, co-founder of Fully Focused Productions; Stuart Murphy, chief executive of the English National Opera and former controller of BBC Three.Studio engineer: John BolandProducer: Hannah SanderPresenter: Amol Rajan
