Media Talk for Friday May 23

PCC, LBC, RTD - and if this week's show were also an acronym it would be FKNBRLNT. Probably.

Press correspondent Stephen Brook declares class war to discuss the Press Complaints Commission's annual report; Machiavellian manoeuvres at the Wall Street Journal; and previews his upcoming interview with Condé Nast's Nicholas Coleridge.

Also in the show, we hear from CNN reporter Dan Rivers. He's just returned from Burma, where he was caught in a game of cat and mouse with the military junta.

Back by popular demand, MediaGuardian editor-in-chief Janine Gibson becomes the pod's resident agony aunt by answering your media queries.

Speaking of which - what now for Doctor Who after Russell T Davies jumps ship (or is that tardis)?

And, as London talk station LBC hire Ken Livingstone as their new shock jock, we'd like you to ponder whether politicians should ever trade in the soap box for the microphone.

Post your comments on the blog below, and listen to the show here.
