Media Talk podcast: BBC vows to tackle bullying

May 03, 2013, 12:07 PM

John Plunkett is joined by former director of the press complaints commission Stig Abell and media consultant Paul Robinson to discuss all that's fit to print and broadcast. This week, the BBC revealed the findings of a report into bullying and harassment – but can a culture of whistleblowing be developed at the corporation? Commons culture select committee chairman John Whittingdale suggested that ITV's public service remit could be scrapped, after its coverage of Margaret Thatcher's funeral was found left wanting. Maggie Brown fills us in with the details. Media Talk royalty Emily Bell returns to the programme, bringing the latest developments from the US – including a health check on the New York Times and the unabated rise of Netflix. Rebecca Nicholson champions the new series of Community and there's a lukewarm review for BBC2's The Politician's Husband.
