The Media Show: I’m a Celebrity… get me a lawyer!

The Explanation

Available for over a year

A dispute around the latest series of I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here has drawn attention to how reality television is edited. Some contestants have said that footage was cut in a misleading way, affecting how they were shown on screen. The broadcaster ITV has said the programme reflects events fairly and accurately. Lauren Morris, culture news editor at The Independent, alongside reality television producers Donald Clarke and Rob Davis, discuss the processes and standards used in production. King Charles’ state visit to the US has taken place at a time of diplomatic tension, following criticism from President Trump over the UK’s position on the war with Iran. The visit, the first by a British monarch in nearly two decades, involved a series of carefully planned public events and took place under heightened security. Sean Coughlan, Royal correspondent at BBC News, and Jack Blanchard, author of Politico’s Playbook newsletter, outline their reporting approaches and editorial context. Presenters: Katie Razzall and Ros Atkins Producer: Dan Hardoon Content producer: Lucy Wai Researcher: Ruth Waites Sound engineer: Syd Dundon
