A look at Sir David Clementi - set to be Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ chair; What is fake news - and how are UK and US journalists dealing with it?
The Edinburgh TV Festival and ITN have hosted a debate on Fake News and the Fallout, where Brian Stelter of CNN outlined his attempts to uphold journalism standards on his show Reliable Sources. And with President Elect Trump set for inauguration next week another argument has broken out over what he has called fake news and many media outlets were unhappy to publish.

And Ben de Pear, Editor of Channel 4 News and Jonathan Levy, Director of News-Gathering & Operations at Sky News discuss how UK media is dealing with the challenges presented by fake news.
And, Sir David Clementi has been named as the government's preferred candidate to be Chair of the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ's new unitary board. Former Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Trustee, Richard Tait and Jane Martinson, Head of Media at the Guardian discuss what lies ahead for him.
