Sky's Lewis Goodall, soon to join Newsnight, has recently tweeted this:
Our old friend, the Number 10 source, is unfortunately right. It has been a bad election for the broadcasters because we don’t work together. If we change and do so for the next election, it’ll be better for us and (more importantly) our viewers: the voters. Let’s set up a debate/interview commission (as Sky has been calling for all year) and offer a programme of programmes across the networks with which leaders and parties can negotiate and accept or decline as a package. Strength in numbers.
Blog favourite Mark Lees replied:
I don't care whether broadcasters "work together" I just want broadcasters to present all sides of the debate in a fair way. In fact, less collaboration between broadcasters may help to avoid groupthink and media bubbles.I agree with Mark.
