Politicians and the press

from The Media Show Hosted by BBC Radio 4

It’s party conference season. Political journalists are dashing around the country from fringe event to meeting room. Politicians beyond government are having their moment in the media spotlight. So how has Labour leader Keir Starmer handled the press attention? Does he have the same level of newspaper backing that Tony Blair or Boris Johnson could count on? Also in the programme, Netflix has revealed its most watched shows. How has a Korean horror-drama claimed top spot - and where is The Crown? Guests: Aaron Bastani, co-founder of Novara Media; Jane Merrick, Policy Editor at the i newspaper; Jack Peat, founder of The London Economic; Lara O'Reilly, Media Editor at Insider. Studio engineer: Donald MacDonald Producer: Hannah Sander Presenter: Rajan Datar
