Fellas Go Global, Guardian Pivots and Paddington Sues
Rhianna Dhillon and Jim Waterson join Matt Deegan
We’ve packed a lot into this week’s The Media Club. Film and TV critic Rhianna Dhillon joins to discuss what’s cutting through on screen, whilst London Centric’s Jim Waterson reflects on 10 years of Kath Viner’s Guardian leadership and why he’s worried about the future of words.
We’re covering Global’s acquisition of The Fellas Studios and what these two very different media organisations can learn from each other, The Guardian’s big investment in video and shift towards visual content, and why Steven Bartlett’s Flightcast might solve the eternal content distribution headache. Also on the show, Celebrity Traitors pulls in 6.1 million viewers, politicians and journalists are trapped in the Twitter cesspit, and why everyone’s apparently posting on LinkedIn now.
Plus in the Media Quiz, we rework three classics of the crime genre into three media stories of the week. Can our guests decipher the stories from heist movie plot summaries?
