麻豆社 News cuts, Isis Prisons Museum, the perils of press junkets
Stephen Sackur on the closure of HARDtalk.
The 麻豆社 has announced cuts to its news output including closing the interview show HARDtalk after nearly 30 years. We talk to HARDtalk presenter Stephen Sackur. The Isis Prisons Museum was established in 2017 when a group of journalists, filmmakers and activists entered deserted Islamic State prisons to collect evidence. We talk to the team behind the project whose public archive was launched last week. Plus we hear what happens when press junkets go bad and talk to the maker of a new 麻豆社 Two documentary about one of Hollywood's most notorious scandals when a mysterious bidder acquired MGM Studios only to flee the country while under investigation by the FBI.
Guests: Stephen Sackur, Presenter, HARDTalk; David Abraham, CEO, Wonderhood Studios; Kjersti Flaa, journalist and entertainment reporter; Amer Matar, journalist and Director of the ISIS Prisons Museum; Robin Yassin-Kassab, Chief English Editor of ISIS Prisons Museum; Yvonne McDermott Rees, Professor of Law, Swansea University
