It's been a week of great consequence for the media. On Monday, Russell Brand was sentenced to over ten years in prison for rape and sexual assault. On Tuesday - in a separate story - ITV News and The Guardian named David Walliams as the celebrity who tried to use an injunction to block the publication of sexual misconduct allegations. Also in the last week, Channel 4 announced it is axing Married at First Sight after earlier this year the BBC reported rape allegations from two female cast members.
Each story raises important questions about the culture of the media industry, now and in the past. Is this a reckoning for the sector? We spoke to Dame Caroline Dinenage MP, chair of the Culture, Media and Sport Committee, Priya Dogra, chief executive of Channel 4, and a panel of guests to talk us through these stories: Rosamund Urwin, chief news correspondent at The Sunday Times; Alex Wilson, partner at RPC, and Sarah Ditum, author of Toxic: Women, Fame and The Noughties.

Protests across Europe led by youth movements have drawn attention to the role of social media in spreading information and misinformation. Largely led by Gen-Z, these protests have included references to films like The Hunger Games and The Avengers, and featured people in costumes taking part in 'aura battles', while memes of the demonstrations are shared online. Researcher Dr Nayana Prakash considers how online platforms, viral videos and AI-generated content are now an inextricable part of protest movements.
After Russian TV sent a camera crew to report on a Welsh independence march, BBC Monitoring’s Russia specialist Francis Scarr examines how Russian state media is reporting on independence movements across the world, and what this coverage reveals about the Kremlin’s portrayal of European instability and decline.

Filmmakers Itab Azzam and Jack MacInnes reflect on their documentary One in a Million, which follows a Syrian family over ten years as they rebuild their lives after fleeing Aleppo.

In the internet age, is TV news still fit for purpose? We speak to broadcaster Lewis Goodall who argues it needs urgent reform for the digital and social media age and to Krishnan Guru-Murthy, one of the lead presenters of Channel 4 News. Blue Planet III, narrated by David Attenborough, returns this Sunday. Jack Bootle, the BBC's Head of Specialist Factual Commissioning, told a recent press screening that no generative AI was used – every frame is real.

The right of reply has long been a cornerstone of journalism, giving those involved in a story the chance to respond before publication. But with politicians and public figures now using social media to publish their own version first, is this principle being undermined? Guto Harri, former Downing Street Director of Communications, Professor Karen Fowler-Watt from City St George’s, University of London, and journalist Matt Shea assess how the practice is changing.
As streaming services compete for attention, TV remotes usually now include buttons for platforms like Netflix and YouTube often paid for by the services themselves. UK broadcasters argue this disadvantages British platforms and have called for a dedicated ‘British’ button. Technology historian Edd Thomas and Professor Catherine Johnson from the University of Leeds explain why the remote has become such a significant battleground.

Artificial intelligence is changing the way information is created and shared, and a new phrase has emerged to describe one aspect of that shift: the "meat proxy". Coined by German software engineer Niklas Gruhn, the term refers to people acting as conduits for AI-generated content.
