Can you kind of give us a notion of context? i think an editor... well, i will answer that by saying this, i think. an editor sets a culture. and, you know, you have to be prepared to be unpopular, - and i was very unpopular| within my own newsroom because i was quite - conservative after having had my fingers burned in the first year. - now, i knew steve hewlett very well, i wasnt a friend, - but i really liked him and got on well with him. _ but i do think its important to say that the politic...

When youre born and raised in san francisco, you grow up wanting to make a difference. thats why, at recology, were proud to be 100% employee owned with local workers as diverse as san francisco. we built the citys recycling system from the ground up, helping to make san francisco

You have been in the panorama office... i was going to say forever, not quite forever, but you have been there long time. we are familiar with your work on screen. can you give us a sense of before you get to that point, before the cameras are rolling, what is the work and the ground work that has to be done? what are some of the tools that you use? well, it depends what sort of story it is. i mean, if its against criminals or is about criminals or, you know, dishonest people, then subterfuge is...

This is a story that had the potential to go really badly wrong from the beginning. clearly, with the benefit of hindsight, i agree with the judgment about steve hewlett, he was a very good editor. he made the wrong call, which was he thought he could supervise it, the early stages of the project himself. by the end of the project, if you look at something like john berts memoirs, half the bbc management is crawling all over it because, of course, their other issue was whether they could transmi...

The context of a huge battle that was going on between those two sides. _ of course, and i think thats really useful. what i dont want to do is go down the path of everyone was doing it, because we know what martin bashir was doing. absolutely, - im not excusing it. im trying to put it in context. - of course, of course, and thats really important. dorothy, as a former head of news and current affairs at channel 4, how much would you expect your editors to know about what journalists were doing ...

To those i can see here — all sitting around opining. we need strong, independent journalism, and if mistakes are made, they need to be remedied as quickly as possible. you know, one of the scandals here was that its taken so long for the truth to be admitted by the bbc. not actually for the truth to come out, because weve known the key points here. so, ive heard people call for some massive new regulatory framework, but im not sure that that is what we need. thank you. john, youre on the fron...

A historical injustice is what happened to us. other countries have recognised it, and its high time ours did. everyone was saying, | "if you love your baby, you will give him up." the undiluted joy of a new baby. the parental bond that forms after birth is a foundation of our human existence. but what if the mother was pressured, even coerced, into giving up her baby for adoption just because she was not married?

Was the wild west, right? its complete different now. there is much more governance. the irony of this is _ that the governance changes which the government say. they want the bbc to adopt, they have already adopted. this is already in place. and its the same in newspapers. . i mean, you know, partly. because all kinds of things and levison and the decline of- the power of those papers, the kind of things that went on then would not go on now. - i also think its important, perhaps, not to defend...

Do not go anywhere. a very, very special edition of "the cross connection with tiffany cross" starts right now from tulsa, oklahoma. good morning, everybody. im tiffany cross. nearly 100 years ago today where im sitting right now was reduced to rubble after a white mob attacked the predominantly black greenwood district of tulsa, oklahoma, killing up to 300 people. now unfortunately the tulsa massacre was not an anomaly coming just two years after the red summer of 1919 where dozens of cities ...

Its official, martin bashir used lies and deception to secure the biggest tv interview of all time. lord dysons report into the whole affair raises questions about the governance of the bbc. in fact, the prime minister says the bbc needs to make sure that nothing like this ever happens again. so, on todays media show, we are tackling this head—on. we are exploring the relationship between reporters and their editors. we are asking what tighter safeguards at the bbc will actually look and feel ...
