Turkish media crackdown; Reuters on trust; Fix Radio for builders
Andrea Catherwood discusses recent restrictions on journalists in Turkey. Plus how Reuters is trying to regain trust and the new station for builders, Fix Radio.
In the latest crackdown on the media, the Turkish government has blocked access to Wikipedia citing a law that allows it to ban websites for the protection of the public. Andrea Catherwood is joined by Yaman Akdeniz, a lawyer challenging the Wikipedia ban and by Can DΓΌndar, a Turkish journalist now in exile in Berlin.
Reuters has launched a new initiative called Backstory as part of a plan to bolster trust in its journalism. Stephen Adler is Reuters Editor-in-Chief.
Fix Radio is a new digital station aimed exclusively at builders and tradespeople. Is it viable? Louis Timpany is Fix Radio CEO, Mark Mulligan is Managing Director of MIDiA Research, and Andy Stevens runs Eclipse Property Solutions.
