It's been a week of great consequence for the media. On Monday, Russell Brand was sentenced to over ten years in prison for rape and sexual assault. On Tuesday - in a separate story - ITV News and The Guardian named David Walliams as the celebrity who tried to use an injunction to block the publication of sexual misconduct allegations. Also in the last week, Channel 4 announced it is axing Married at First Sight after earlier this year the BBC reported rape allegations from two female cast members.
Each story raises important questions about the culture of the media industry, now and in the past. Is this a reckoning for the sector? We spoke to Dame Caroline Dinenage MP, chair of the Culture, Media and Sport Committee, Priya Dogra, chief executive of Channel 4, and a panel of guests to talk us through these stories: Rosamund Urwin, chief news correspondent at The Sunday Times; Alex Wilson, partner at RPC, and Sarah Ditum, author of Toxic: Women, Fame and The Noughties.
