Journalism, politics and the digital age: can journalists maintain public trust and influence in this age?

January 02, 2025 • LegalB • Episode 1

For the first episode of this season, we delve into the complex topics of journalism and covering politics in the digital age. With news shaping opinions and driving political decisions, can media outlets maintain trust and credibility in an era of bias, ethical dilemmas, and rapid change? This episode was recorded in December 2024 after the US election, and we dive into the power and responsibility of journalists in shaping narratives and political outcomes.

We discuss these questions with our guest Gabriel Pogrund: the Sunday Times Whitehall Editor, winner of the 2017 Young Journalist of the Year award, and named Journalist of the Year at the 2023 British Journalism Awards. He has also co-authored the books "Left Out" and "Get In”. Join the hosts Zahra and Nasra for a riveting chat with Mr. Pogrund.
