Q&A: The Daily Mail's sidebar of shame

Media Confidential

What do you do if a big story breaks on Christmas Day and there's a skeleton crew running the newsroom?

That's just one of the seasonal questions put to Alan and Lionel in this week's Q&A episode.

The editors also discuss Mishal Husain's departure from the BBC's Today programme, characterising her as one of the best interviewers of recent times.

Finally, they reflect on how reporting has changed since the #MeToo movement. One feature of the Daily Mail, in particular, is singled out as being stuck in the 1980s.

If you're after Christmas gift ideas, look no further than our very own Lionel Barber's recent book Gambling Man, or why not try a discounted subscription to Prospect magazine? (Listener Annie Day's dad will be very happy this year!)
