On this week's Media Talk podcast, we discuss the latest phase of the BBC's public service partnership scheme, which has seen the corporation agree to share its video news with four national newspaper groups. ITN and PA have hit out against the venture, saying it undercuts a crucial revenue stream. Do you think it's a fair use of the licence fee? Charlie Beckett, director of the thinktank Polis, gives Matt Wells his view.
Also in the podcast, Kevin Anderson explains Microsoft's new arrangement with Yahoo, and details the computer giant's move into the UK online TV market.
Paul Robinson helps round up the rest of the week's news, including ITV's search for a new chief executive, and the NME's appointment of its first female editor.
Finally, Paul Bradshaw, senior lecturer in online journalism at Birmingham City University, tells us about the new community journalism project, Help Me Investigate. Is this the future for local reporting?
