Stop The Press!
The podcast where we peel back the headlines and dive into the dynamic, ever-evolving world of journalism and media. Listen to Bill Martin, Nick Copson, and Rob Chadwick as they go from current affairs to investigative storytelling, from where news and media came from, to where it's heading, we explore the forces shaping how information is reported, consumed, and manipulated in today's fast-paced digital age.
We aim to empower media professionals, current and former journalists, and aspiring storytellers by exploring the challenges, opportunities, and ethics of the industry. Through candid conversations with industry leaders, academics, and change-makers, we seek to provide a platform for learning, reflection, and inspiration, ensuring journalism continues to thrive as a pillar of truth, accountability, and creativity in the digital age.
