The Media Show: Netflix and the Baby Reindeer Fallout

Netflix and the Baby Reindeer Fallout

BBC News - The Media Show, Netflix and the Baby Reindeer Fallout

How a 'true story' is alleged to be something rather more complicated.

Baby Reindeer is the latest Netflix hit but faces allegations as to whether it’s fact or fiction. Plus, the secret to a hit TV news theme tune and the network of AI journalists that posed as human.

Baby Reindeer is the Netflix drama that purports to be a true story – but a woman has come forward to say it’s based on her, and that she’s been totally misrepresented. Meanwhile, Piers Morgan has done an interview with her that itself has been called exploitative. 

Also in the programme, how AI-generated news stories have been passed off as the work of human journalists and the secret to a hit TV news theme tune.
