LHF Ban, RTS Cambridge and FT Drama
Charlotte Tobitt, Kate Bulkely, Stephen Arnell & Juliet Riddell join Matt Deegan
We’ve squeezed a lot into this week’s The Media Club. The Press Gazette’s Charlotte Tobitt and TV consultant Stephen Arnell join to talk through the latest news. We’re covering the Less Healthy Food ban, Channel 4’s first indie acquisition as it builds out its own production operation and the latest on fake AI journalists and PRs.
Also on the show we’re caching up with Juliet Riddell, Head of New Formats at the FT, as she and David Baddiel embark on a new drama about AI with Stephen Fry - Recall Me Maybe.
Plus fresh from the RTS in Cambridge, Kate Bulkley joins us to tell us what everyone was talking about.
