As the Meghan Markle revelations underline, the British media is institutionally racist. From incessantly racist and bigoted news coverage, to the treatment of people of colour within the media industry, this is a conversation that needs to be had.
I'm joined by The Guardian's Joseph Harker, former BBC and CNN journalist Saima Mohsin and Miqdaad Versi from the Muslim Council of Britain.

46. The British media is institutionally racist - LIVE SHOW

Owen Jones, journalist, author of Chavs and The Establishment, or "that left-wing idiot off the telly", is fed up with the establishment media. After all, it punches down, not up, blames minorities for all the problems in society, and, let's face it, often just parrots the government line. So this podcast is offering something different: speaking truth to power, giving the marginalised a voice, offering hope - and having a laugh along the way. From Michael Sheen to Judith Butler, Prof. Devi Sridhar to Noam Chomsky, Peter Hitchens to Chelsea Manning and Gary Younge to Stewart Lee, the interviewees couldn't be more eclectic. Expect documentaries, too, exposing injustice and going to enemy territory - and discussions with experts on everything from COVID dreams about the pandemic to the history of US-backed coups. We'll learn a lot - but above all else, have our optimism in a better world rebooted. Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/the-owen-jones-podcast. Hosted on Acast.
