In this week's programme with Steve Hewlett:
As the situation in Syria deteriorates, the BBC's Paul Wood and CBS's Clarissa Ward discuss the risks of reporting undercover from the conflict zone. Both received the David Bloom prize this weekend at the annual Radio Television Correspondents' Association awards in Washington for their reporting in Syria. Have attitudes towards foreign journalists changed to the extent that some suggest where, to attract media attention, activists appear to have set journalists up to be shot by the government forces?
Two months after its relaunch from Salford, former BBC Director General Greg Dyke gives his view on BBC Breakfast. What impact might last week's Jubilee pageant coverage have on the prospects of some of the candidates to replace Mark Thompson?
And how straightforward would it really be to control media ownership in the way floated this week at the Leveson inquiry? Labour leader Ed Miliband said yesterday that he didn't believe one person should control 34% of the newspaper market, but how much influence is too much could anyone agree on the best way to measure it? Former Ofcom partner Stewart Purvis and media analyst Claire Enders discuss this.
The producer is Simon Tillotson.
