Occupy Fleet Street: How to Democratise the British Media (incomplete recording see note) by The World Transformed published on 2018-09-23T13:13:36Z *Due to logistical problems this recording starts as Leo Watkins is speaking. Regrettably this means that Laura Basu, Angela Phillips & Wendy Liu's contributions are not on the tape apart from in the Q&A. We're looking at ways to get their voices back on the soundcloud file, and apologise sincerely that their omission means that the panel is presented as effectively all male.* Our media is in crisis and transition. There is a crisis of funding, working conditions quality, trust and accountability in British journalism. Google and Facebook have rapidly acquired extraordinary power over what we see and read online. The BBC's culture and output have been transformed by four decades of neoliberal hegemony.
