How a Political Story Cuts Through

BBC Radio 4 - The Media Show, How a Political Story Cuts Through

Changes at the Mail, and an interview in Belarus, show the power of the press.

Changes at the Mail and an interview in Belarus show the power of the press.

A faltering speech by Boris Johnson has Westminster journalists in a spin. The government changed its stance on lobbying following attacks in the Daily Mail and other bits of the media. And a BBC interview with Alexander Lukashenko, the President of Belarus, has made headlines. But how much do political stories like these actually cut through with the public?

Guests: Anushka Asthana, Deputy Political Editor at ITV News; Chris Williams, Business Editor at The Telegraph; Joe Twyman, Director at DeltaPoll; Steve Rosenberg, BBC Moscow Correspondent.

Studio engineer: Nigel Dix

Producer: Hannah Sander

Presenter: Ros Atkins

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