Reporting on the Cornell rape investigation; Woman’s Hour at 80; Anneka Rice
We discuss how the media reported on the Cornell University rape investigation, and speak to the editor of Woman’s Hour as the programme turns 80.
What are the challenges of reporting on the Cornell University rape investigation, and how did it emerge in student and social media? We discuss with Kathleen Bartzen Culver, Professor of Journalism Ethics at the University of Wisconsin – Madison; and Dr Robert Topinka, Reader in Digital Culture at Birkbeck University of London.
As Woman’s Hour turns 80, its editor Karen Dalziel joins us to reflect on its impact and legacy. Also on the programme, the BBC’s Nick Thorpe looks at what's changed since Prime Minister Péter Magyar promised to restore media freedom six months ago. Plus, Anneka Rice looks back on her broadcasting career, five decades after she joined the BBC as a trainee.
