How Succession reflects reality | The Listening Post

The acclaimed HBO TV series Succession immersed viewers in the world of the Roys, a family fighting for control of their elderly father’s media empire. Art imitates life, and as the series - which was partly, at times largely, based on the Murdochs - winds down, we examine what the hit show tells us about the dangers of corporate media.

On our radar:
No mercy for the mercenary. Meenakshi Ravi reports on how the Russian media has turned their back on the man who calls himself “Putin’s butcher” - Yevgeny Prigozhin.

India’s local journalism under pressure:
Being a local journalist in India is fraught with challenges. We speak to two journalists - one from Indian-administered Kashmir and the other from Chhattisgarh - about the pressures they face.
