Nicholas Coleridge; Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Brexit coverage; Osborne, Lebedev and the Evening Standard
John Whittingdale on Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Brexit coverage; Evgeny Lebedev's new editor at the Evening Standard; and Nicholas Coleridge about stepping back at Conde Nast.
Nicholas Coleridge has been Managing Director of Conde Nast UK and President of Conde Nast International for the last 25 years. They publish well over a hundred titles from Vogue to Vanity Fair, Tatler to Wired. Andrea asks him about his journalism, the resilience of glossy magazines and picking the right editor.
More than 70 MPs have written to the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ with concerns about "pre-referendum pessimism" and an unwillingness to "accept new facts". Tony Hall says that impartiality has always been the cornerstone of Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ News and that "it is more important than ever that the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔs journalism is independent of political influence". Former Culture Secretary John Whittingdale didn't sign the letter, but thinks there are problems and joins us to discuss them.
And, George Osborne is the new editor of the Evening Standard, the London newspaper with a greater circulation than many national dailies. But what of the man who appointed him, Evgeny Lebedev? To discuss his decision and rationale behind it are Dominic Ponsford of the Press Gazette and John Lloyd, co-founder of the Reuters institute for the study of Journalism and former Moscow Bureau chief for the Financial Times.
Producer: Ruth Watts.
