Inside the Papers


Kirsty, YAB and Katy

For those keeping an eye on Newsnight's 'Inside the Papers' feature, where a journalist (or, occasionally, a panel including journalists) discusses the next day's newspapers, here's a list of all the contributers so far.

One interesting thing to note (after six weeks) is that the early guests did suggest that Newsnight was at least trying to achieve some measure of balance when it comes to Brexit in terms of supporters and opponents, but that attempt only lasted two weeks. Thereafter, over the remaining four weeks, there's been a quite staggering lack of pro-Brexit voices.

(And, yes, most days Brexit has been discussed).

This is turning out to be increasingly damning.

  1. Thanks Craig...I gave up early on keeping tabs - your superior dedication to BBC Reality Checking is exemplary.

    Of course that's an old BBC trick - start off relatively balanced and then gradually press down on the scales.

    There are more than a few soft left Conservatives on the Clarkeian wing (which is a very small wing). But no commentators from the populist or indeed mainstream Conservative right.

    And why the European media reps? People in the UK are much more connected to American media. But there are big communities who link to the South Asian and African media. Why this "Euro-ethnocentrism"?
