It has been an eventful year in Wales, the UK, and further afield and we all rely on journalists, newsgathering teams, and publishers to create and share news with us. But how healthy is the industry? Are commercial and public service news teams serving up the news in the right way to reach audiences across the nation? Are the business models behind news desks sustainable in their current form? And are regulators and governments doing everything that they can to ensure the public interest is served?

To discuss this, and much more, we are joined by two experts in the field:

Gwenfair Griffith is a journalist, documentary maker, lecturer, and author of Fy Stori Fawr - A book discussing the challenges and triumphs of Wales' leading journalists when reporting on major stories: https://twitter.com/gwenfair_
