The first rule of journalism is never become the story, and on this week's Media Talk, Matt Wells is joined by Paul Robinson and Emily Bell to talk about, er, Emily Bell and the news that she's leaving the Guardian to become an Ivy League professor.
From there, we give our verdict on the latest relaunch of the Independent – and, more importantly, wonder who would win a fight between Simon Kelner and Rebekah Brooks.
Also in the podcast, we discuss who'll be sitting on the two sofas and at the one desk vacated by Adrian Chiles now that he's off to ITV. (Incidentally, we recorded just as it was confirmed Colin Murray was taking the Match of the Day 2 gig.)
Plus, in another BBC expenses shocker, Mark Thompson takes six people out to dinner in Tokyo – and still gets change from £400; STV sells Pearl & Dean for a song; and never mind Gordon, Dave, and Nick – Britain's Got Talent returns for its fourth series, but will anyone be this year's Susan Boyle?
