About this episode
Office streakers, whiskey before lunchtime, and untimely deaths: with Christmas party season almost upon us,
Alan and Lionel get nostalgic for the old-fashioned newsroom on this week’s Media Confidential Q&A.
Plus, your weekly update on the contested Observer sale, amidst disquiet amongst journalists at the paper. After grilling Tortoise’s James Harding on the podcast, plenty of questions still remain...
Meanwhile, down under, the Australian ban on social media for under 16s sparks discussion, and it becomes clear that one of our hosts is not a social media fan.
But this “dinosaur” can still bite—listen to the episode to hear his objections.
