The Media Show: Inside the US campus protests

Inside the US campus protests

BBC Radio 4 - The Media Show, Inside the US campus protests

Perspectives from journalists on the ground.

US university campuses have been the scene of pro-Palestinian demonstrations over the last month. We assess the challenges of reporting the protests and hear why student journalists have been crucial to our understanding of the story. We also look at Israel’s ban of Al Jazeera where the government accuses it of being a mouthpiece for Hamas, a charge the network denies. Plus, what’s it like to cover the Met Gala? And how are the media strategies of political parties evolving as we approach a general election in the UK? 

Guests: Pippa Crerar, Political Editor, The Guardian; Ben Riley-Smith, Political Editor, The Daily Telegraph; Leila Nathoo, Political Correspondent, BBC News; Richard Hall, Senior US Correspondent, The Independent; Julia Vargas Jones, Reporter, CNN; Doug MacLeod, Professor, University of Wisconsin–Madison; Jada Yuan, National Culture Writer, Washington Post; Shaina Oppenheimer, Journalist, BBC Monitoring Jerusalem; Mohamed Moawad, Managing Editor, Al Jazeera

Presenters: Katie Razzall and Ros Atkins
Producer: Simon Richardson
