BBC Radio 4 - The Media Show, Reporting when there's no journalist in the room

World leaders gather, but journalists are left outside.

The world’s biggest leaders have been face-to-face in a series of meetings. But as always, nobody from the press was allowed in the room. So how easy is it for journalists to sort the fact from the spin? And do the politicians even want them there – unless it’s to snap them posing grandly on the beach?

Guests: Patrick Wintour, Diplomatic Editor at The Guardian; Steven Erlanger, Chief Diplomatic Correspondent at The New York Times; Rym Momtaz, Senior France Correspondent at Politico; Naomi O'Leary, Europe Correspondent at The Irish Times; Tom Wainwright, Media Editor at The Economist.

Studio engineer: Emma Harth

Producer: Hannah Sander

Presenter: Datshiane Navanayagam

Intelligent speech, the most insightful journalism, the wittiest comedy, the most fascinating features and the most compelling drama and readings anywhere in UK radio.
