AI judging journalists, the BBC’s “Wrong Guy”, Saudi Arabia's media strategy, covering climate change

Available for over a year

Ros Atkins and Katie Razzall on some of the week’s biggest media stories: Could AI be used to hold journalists to account? We speak to the entrepreneur Aron D’Souza about his new platform “Objection”, which promises to investigate journalists' reporting and give them a ratings card. Nearly 20 years on, one of the BBC’s most famous on-air mix-ups is still being watched around the world. We hear from Guy Goma and Elliott Gotkine about how the "wrong Guy" was put on live TV and became one of the earliest viral clips. Saudi Arabia has spent billions investing in global sport and media, from football clubs to golf. But what does a shift away from LIV Golf tell us about its wider strategy and how it uses media and sport to project influence? Former BBC Science Editor David Shukman joins us to discuss his argument that the media’s framing of climate change has failed to reflect how close to home its impacts really are. Guests: Aron D’Souza, founder and CEO, Objection; Guy Goma; Elliott Gotkine, Emmy-winning journalist; Claire Atkinson, founder of Media Mix and contributing editor at The Ankler; Claire Enders, founder, Enders Analysis; David Shukman, journalist and former BBC Science Editor. Producer: Dan Hardoon Assistant Producer: Laura Cain
