What is the media today?  It used to be newspapers or magazines - or broadcast media, television and radio.  Today, anyone can be a ‘journalist’ spreading news, views, comment and opinion through social media – that is largely unrestricted and unregulated.

To help me answer that question, I’m delighted to be joined by Andrew Harvey for 30 years a main presenter for BBC Television News, and latterly for ITN. 

After leaving the television arena, Andrew set up and now runs Harvey Leach, a media training company.

During this episode we cover the value of establishing good press contacts, and also advice on how to react when a crisis situation attracts the interest of the media.

Andrew also provides a fascinating insight into his days presenting television prime time news bulletins.
