Paul Staines, aka Gudio Fawkes, is the political blogger behind the story of William Hague and his special advisor. Critics describe him as an anti-journalist, un-accountable and a peddler of political soft porn. How does he respond?
With a Papal visit to the UK imminent, issues like the ordination of women, and arguments about whether to build a Mosque at Ground Zero in New York, religion is never far from the headlines. But, can a secular media cover events in the world of religion effectively? And do newspaper article or television news have any hope of getting to grips with questions like 'Does God exits?' Former religious correspondent for The Guardian Stephen Bates and Baroness Warnock discuss.
And the big story of the week. What exactly have we learnt from the New York Times' allegations about phone hacking at the News of The World, and why is an American newspaper so interested in what happens in the news room of a British tabloid?
Steve Hewlett speakers to Professor of Journalism and former tabloid editor Roy Greenslade and Rupert Murdoch biographer Michael Wolff.
The producer is Joe Kent.
