Government Comms in the COVID Crisis


Listen Later

With the Government’s Coronavirus communications strategy under heavy criticism, we ask an expert panel, including two former No.10 Directors of Communications, what it is getting wrong and what it needs to do to get things right. How successful are the daily press conferences? Has the Government shown a willingness to engage with the media? And is it right to rebut critical press reports so strenuously? 


Jill Rutter, Senior Fellow at the Institute for Government, chairs an expert panel including:

  • Alastair Campbell, Director of Communications and Strategy to Tony Blair
  • Sir Craig Oliver, Director of Politics and Communications to David Cameron
  • Camilla Tominey, Associate Editor, the Daily Telegraph
