  • Who gets right of reply?

    Who gets right of reply?
    Oct 2 2025

    Do you always have to offer the people you’re reporting on a chance to give their side of the story? In this episode of Media Confidential, Alan and Lionel share when giving the right of reply has backfired on them.

    They also discuss Fox News, after one listener asks a tongue-in-cheek question.

    And the hosts talk about whether media reports about Donald Trump’s mental state are responsible, as well as the sale of the conservative digital media outlet The Free Press.

  • The Hack: What’s the real story?

    The Hack: What’s the real story?
    Sep 29 2025

    This week’s special episode of Media Confidential coincides with ITV’s new drama The Hack, about the phone-hacking scandal which led to the closure of the News of the World, the Leveson Inquiry, and a national reckoning on press ethics.


    This week, Prospect’s Alan Rusbridger is joined by actor Toby Jones—who plays him in the series—along with Emmy award-winning writer Jack Thorne, executive producer Patrick Spence, and journalist and academic Jane Martinson.


    The panel discuss bringing the story to the small screen, how the government can help support the arts, and the power of drama.


    They explore journalism at its worst, but also how reporting can make a difference. Is a second Leveson inquiry needed?

    They also discuss the future of the BBC, trust in the media, and the UK’s decision to regulate US big tech, in the face of tariff threats from Trump.
