TV's relationship with Google and WikiLeaks

from The Media Show · host BBC Radio 4

WikiLeaks has released thousands of new diplomatic cables but the latest leak has failed to make such an impact in the UK media and there are suggestions that unredacted documents have been published, putting sources at risk. Can WikiLeaks continue to influence the headlines now that its partnerships with traditional media outlets have fallen apart? Heather Brooke and Emily Bell discuss WikiLeaks' future. Google's Eric Schmidt gave the MacTaggart lecture at the Edinburgh Television Festival over the weekend, the first person from a non broadcast background to do so. But was his speech an olive branch to an industry which has described Google as a "parasite" in the past? To discuss how Google and TV might work together, and who stands to gain, Steve Hewlett is joined by Anthony Lilley. Ivan Lewis, the Shadow Culture Secretary, has called for stricter rules on media takeovers, following the controversy around News Corp's bid for BSkyB and fears News Corp could renew their bid. Ivan Lewis explains why he feels the current laws are not good enough and why parliament should "act urgently to close the loopholes" on media ownership.
