Jason Arday, Investigating Football, Broadcasters Moving to YouTube

Available for over a year

The resignation of Cambridge professor Jason Arday is one of the biggest stories to hit British academia in years. We speak to Times Higher Education journalist Jack Grove, who began investigating allegations of plagiarism more than a year ago but says legal threats prevented his publication from reporting them at the time. Last month, The Times’ Martyn Ziegler revealed that FIFA president Gianni Infantino had been exploring plans to sell stakes in the World Cup to private investors. He joins New York Times Global Sports Correspondent Tariq Panja to discuss what it takes to break a major football story. And as established broadcasters like Holly Willoughby move onto YouTube, does success on TV automatically translate online? Former Top Gear presenter James May joins us to reveal what he’s learned from building his own successful YouTube channel, Planet Gin. Guests: Jack Grove, Reporter and Deputy Features Editor, Times Higher Education; Martyn Ziegler, Chief Sports Reporter, The Times; Tariq Panja, Global Sports Correspondent, The New York Times; James May, Presenter, Planet Gin; Lucy Brown, Producer, Planet Gin; Holly Graham, Chief Commercial and Strategy Officer, Little Dot Studios.
