Media Talk: Civil war at the Sun

Hugh Muir presents a special edition of Media Talk as we explore the growing civil war at the Sun.

Rupert Murdoch's beloved red-top is the latest part of the New Corporation empire to be plunged into crisis – after a number of senior Sun journalists were arrested over alleged payments to public officials, having been tipped off by none other than News Corp's management and standards committee

That betrayal caused huge ruptures in Wapping – but Murdoch has responded in his typically bullish way, not only by back his staff but also announcing the imminent launch of the Sunday edition of the Sun.

Roy Greenslade, Dan Sabbagh and Lisa O'Carroll give their reaction to an extraordinary week. You can keep up to date by following our live blog, and if you want to leave your feedback on anything in the podcast, post your thoughts on the blog below.
