Media: Ombudsman for The Sun, Channel 4's Drugs Live




Media Show show

Summary: Philippa Kennedy has been appointed as Ombudsman for The Sun. She will consider complaints and correct errors but how independent of the newspaper will she actually be? Channel 4 will screen footage of volunteers in a scientific study taking MDMA. David Glover, Commissioning Editor for "Drugs Live", responds to criticism that the programme risks glamorising drug use. And could a levy on monthly broadband bills be an effective way of subsidising print journalism? David Leigh of The Guardian thinks so, John Gapper of the FT is not so sure.
