Just as News UK wraps up its court battles... ITV announces a new drama all about them, starring Toby Jones as Alan Rusbridger. Media writer Tara Conlan tells us more.
Also on the programme: The toxic world of the comedy industry is back in the headlines - writer and broadcaster Julia Raeside joins us on the member’s sofa to discuss the last few years, and her new book, Don’t Make Me Laugh.
All that, plus: should we follow Europe’s lead and raise a broadcasting levy on streamers?
That’s all happening in this edition of The Media Club. Come on in!
