It's a special(ish) edition of Media Talk this week, as Stephen Brook is joined by Emily Bell, Maggie Brown, and James Robinson to pore over the Digital Britain report. Lord Carter's long-awaited document ran to 240 pages and included 77 proposals, from landline levies to top-slicing the licence fee and moving all national radio stations to DAB. But did the communication minister's magnum opus live up to expectations – or was Jeremy Hunt speaking for all us when he described as "a colossal disappointment"?
Also in the podcast, we look at the unrest in Iran and how Twitter in particular has changed the landscape of citizen journalism and eyewitness reportage.
We round up the news from Fleet Street, including Ben Preston taking over the reins at the Radio Times, Patience Wheatcroft coming out of retirement to head up WSJ Europe's new London operation, and Suzanne Breen's high court victory for press freedom.
Finally, we bid farewell to Peter Sissons – the grumpiest newsreader of them all, but no less talented for that.
