We kick off this week's show at the Society of Editors conference in Manchester. Our man Stephen Brook mingled with the media bigwigs, and heard Independent boss Gavin O'Reilly claim the internet was not the biggest threat to printed newspapers. And Michael Billington, from our colleagues at GMG Radio in Manchester, reports on the big issue discussed at the conference- trust.
Also, with award-wining writers on the picket lines in Hollywood, you're bound to get a better class of banner. ("We write the storia for Eva Longoria" is a particular favourite.) Jeanne Wolf, a reporter with Parade.com, joins us from LA to explain the strike.
And with the media clampdown in Pakistan, we hear from blogger Maman Ahmed of ChapatiMystery.com about how residents in the troubled state are keeping up with the news. Plus there's the welcome return of Gareth McLean.
Janine Gibson completes the lineup in the pod, and if you notice any changes this week, it's because we have a new producer on board - Ben Green.
