Paul McCartney and Heather Mills blame the media for their split - not surprisingly, the tabloids did not exactly take that lying down. Cristina Odone and Steve Hewlett wonder why the media seems to hate Mills so much.

I talk to Simon Shaps , director of television at ITV, about the challenges facing the commercial network, and Steve explains how bad the TV advertising market is at the moment.

Award winning Guardian photographer Eamonn McCabe talks us through an exhibition of his work, plus we get the usual near-the-knuckle comment on the rest of the week's media news from Gareth McLean.

We didn't get any podposts this week (sob!) but if you'd like to record you comments on an audio file and email them to us (media@theguardian.com) that would be great. How about comments on Big Brother?
