To get things out so quickly that accuracy is under pressure and is threatened in some ways and how do you strike the balance? unfortunately, there is. you see news outlets battling that each and every day. there was an episode just last week in which there was in an inaccurate report within the states that proliferated because unfortunately due to that race of getting the news out to the market as quickly as possible. at reuters we want to make sure that we are accurate first but then absolutel...

Journalists were gone and theyd moved on to the next thing. today im asking why does the media fall for these gimmicks? why is the news cycle so fast and so fickle? ive got a brilliant bunch of guests to help me answer all of these questions. thomas cock is digital editor of bristol live, the online offshoot of the bristol post. catriona stewart is chief reporter at the glasgow times. stephen bush is political editor at the new statesman. katy balls is deputy political editor at the spectator an...

Coronavirus does not so far put it at risk the final stage of the so—called road map. so unlocking remaining restrictions in england. ministers are waiting for more data from the growing number of hotspots which stretch from glasgow to bedford. labour says its time to make changes, especially to the travel advice. more on that in a moment, but first heres our health editor hugh pym. with concerns about the indian variant, the push to vaccinate continues in hotspot areas around the country. lik...

So, monday, it emerges the prime minister has an unpaid debt against him. tuesday, the government responds to it, wednesday, the labour party does something to try and extend the news story, thursday the eye of the story is moving to a point of crisis for the prime minister or has nowhere new to go. friday, something will happen on the sunday, and acts as a fire break for the political news. that tends to be how i think about it. that is a very parochial definition based around my specific thing...

Safe and understanding for everybody to just be able to make the best decisions possible, either personally or professionally. is immediacy still one of the usps of reuters? traditionally people saw it as a newswire service and it was where many outlets would go to for breaking news. is that still part of the sell? without a doubt. accuracy and speed are absolutely essential. so we want to make sure that we are accurate but if no one is getting that in the time that they need in order to make th...

A huge impact. it has all the hallmarks of a pr move. and so, katy, i want to know from you, is there anything to suggest that boris johnsons team knew about this in advance? everything were hearing is that they didnt. its not a conservative piece of branding. i think the prime minister quickly turned it to his advantage and the result meant it became almost a metaphor for something quite helpful to the tory party. because of the tory gains in seats like hartlepool and the by—election, and the...

The things that is interesting about politics, which is the advantage of the governing party. whether are you the english conservative party, the welsh labour party or the scottish national party, the governing party can change the news agenda. it gets to get to do stuff, it passes legislation, it changes peoples lives. i think part of the art of being a good journalist is being distracted. its being interested in things. its being a bit like the dog going, "squirrel?" but the advantage of the g...

On reuters.com in the very near future. so i think the ways that you get reuters news via either other media companies are broadcasters or directly to reuters.com. or we have 0tt stations in partnership with other companies like samsung. just various ways in which you can engage with reuters content. and i think that the most important thing is making sure that were getting unbiased content out into the marketplace so people can make the best decisions possible. there is one more story that i wa...

With designers to turn kiyan into a character in this years fifa computer game, with the aim of discouraging young people from carrying knives. breakfast�*s graham satchell has the story. my name is kiyan prince. and i am a professional footballer. at least, i would have been. had i not been killed when i was 15. kiyan prince was trying to break up a fight when he was stabbed and killed outside his school. he was just 15. his bubbly, joyful personality was infectious to everyone around him. fo...

Political stories. and in the case of the piece i wrote, i wanted to write about the fact that it was maybe over—sentimentalising the votes it was losing and had a slightly naive approach. it was slightly out of the usual narrative, that huge inflatable. the thing is lets imagine the conservatives had lost, i suspect then that huge inflatable would also become the image of the by—election. albeit in a way of the conservative party would not have liked. i think the interesting question, thoug...
