What To Do About The Press

This week, Victor and Peter are joined by Stephen Colegrave, co-founder and executive editor of Byline Times.Selling 30,000 PRINT copies a month (yes, still a thing!) on top of tens of thousands of digital subscriptions, Byline Times is a rare success story in modern British journalism.Even more impressive is the weight its reporting carries with politicians, commentators and other journalists, who can’t ignore the quality of its investigative reporting.It’s Byline Times we have to thank for revelations around the Covid PPE ‘VIP lane’, around Russia’s influence on British politics and society, and around Reform UK and Nigel Farage’s connections to an international network of crooked operators, from Steve Bannon to Jeffrey Epstein, via, yes, Russia.So if Byline Times can do it, what’s stopping everyone else?Good question. One this episode sets out to answer.What to do about… The Press.
