If Yorkshire and Lancashire declared war; if the next test tube babies were triplets; if the actress ran off with the bishop ... would the story get into your newspaper, and if so on which page would it appear and how fully, accurately or colourfuliy would the facts be reported' Who decides on the policy, politics and style of a newspaper ... and who has the real power, the owner, the editor, or the unions?
How risky is the birth of a new paper; how certain the survival of an established one? Questions you might like to put to Mike Molloy , Editor of the Daily Mirror and Simon Jenkins, Political Editor of the Economist. Sue MacGregor is in the Chair. Produced by the Woman's Hour unit
