We discuss BBC coverage of the Huw Edwards story, the ability of 'Newswatch' and 'Feedback' programmes to hold the BBC to account and pay inequality. "Let's face it, it's mostly older white men coming out to speak on this and a lot of it has been very defensive."Our crowdfunding page can be found hereOr become a regular supporter of the podcast by signing up here Find all our podcasts here @BeebRoger@[email protected]: [email protected] Hosted on Acast.
