Huw Edwards pleads guilty


Listen Later

David Silito reflects on Huw Edwards's guilty plea to making indecent images of children, 41 images that had been shared with him by another man on WhatsApp. We look at how the story broke and the challenges of covering it for journalists inside the BBC.

Katie talks to Channel 4 News’s Krishnan Guru-Murthy. Amid controversy surrounding the BBC’s Strictly Come Dancing show, he secured an exclusive interview with contestant Amanda Abbington about her experiences on the programme. A former Strictly contestant himself, Krishnan talks about the impact the show had on him.

News emerged last week that Rupert Murdoch is attempting to change his family’s legal trust to preserve the editorial stance of his media outlets after his death. Several of his children are fighting back. Jim Rutenberg, writer at large at The New York Times has been following the family for more than two decades. He got the scoop and he joins us alongside Murdoch biographer Claire Atkinson.

Also in the programme, Peter White tells us about his new documentary 50/50 Vision and his career as a broadcaster.

Guests: David Silito, Media and Arts Correspondent, BBC; Krishnan Guru-Murthy, Main Anchor, Channel 4 News; Jim Rutenberg, Writer at Large, The New York Times; Claire Atkinson, biographer of Rupert Murdoch; Peter White, broadcaster and presenter of Radio 4’s In Touch
