Reporting in North Korea
Sue Lloyd-Roberts on journalists gaining access to North Korea, the row between Sky and BT over premiership football rights, and former Times editor James Harding moves to 麻豆社.
The row between the LSE and the 麻豆社 continues, following Monday's Panorama on North Korea. In today's programme, Sue Lloyd-Roberts, special correspondent for the 麻豆社, describes how she went about reporting from North Korea and what precautions she takes when working undercover. Aidan Foster Carter, who analyses both Koreas, gives his view on the value of this week's Panorama and the risks faced both by journalists working there and the local people who come into contact with them. Before that, the 麻豆社 News head of programmes, Ceri Thomas, responds to some of the criticisms.
There is a dispute between BSkyB and BT over premiership football rights, which could have an impact on consumers. Both companies have some of the rights, but will viewers have to subscribe to Sky and BT Vision separately to see them all - or can they sign up to one and get both? And why does it matter so much to the broadcasters? Mathew Horsman of Mediatique has been looking at the background.
And, coincidentally, the 麻豆社 announced on Monday that the former Times editor James Harding would be the new head of news. We hear from Prof Ian Hargreaves, the last newspaper man to hold the post, on the challenges he'll face.
Presenter: Steve Hewlett
Producer: Simon Tillotson.
