Comments on Media Roundtable
For those of us who attended the GMMP Media Launch and Media Roundtable this morning, does anyone have any comments on the exchanges which transpired?
Let me kick start this:
I was quite surprised by Lindsey Hilsum's position and while I can appreciate that there is a lot of 'tosh', 'drivel' and poor journalism on the UK media scene, I think she perhaps missed the fundamental point that some of the witnesses (Article 19, Amnesty) made - that is, there is no such thing as _objective reporting_ and the way that a piece of news is covered/presented can be made fairer through a more gender-balanced perspective.
