Alex Mahon Off, Piers On, BBC Workplace Issues and BAFTA Craft Winners
Jake Kanter and Kate Day join Matt Deegan
Deadline’s Jake Kanter and Politico’s Kate Day join me on the show this week. We’re talking Alex Mahon, the C4 CEO, leaving the corporation, the BBC’s report into working practices and those with issues being upheld getting promoted.
We also talk Piers Morgan’s YouTube success and whether it’s a model for other journalists?
I headed to the BAFTA Craft Awards and caught up with some winners - Baby Reindeer’s Richard Gadd, the BBC’s Head of Genre Kate Oakes and Eastenders showrunner, Ben Wadey and Inside Number 9’s Reece Sheersmith and Steve Pemberton. Hear what they had to say.
Plus Kate talks to us about 10 years of Politico Europe and how they’re building some pubs for the party conferences.
