Media Talk: Nick Davies interview

On this week's show, we talk to Nick Davies, whose book Flat Earth News has caused a storm in the journalism world. Nick reckons that the British media is structurally set up to distort the news. Hear what he thinks is the problem, and what he suggests to remedy it.

Stephen Brook takes us through the latest magazine circulation figures, and the (possibly connected) resignation of New Statesman editor John Kampfner and the demise of the Business magazine.

Jeff Jarvis is on the line from New York to talk us through Yahoo's proposed tieup with News Corporation, apparently to fend off the hostile takeover bid from Microsoft.

Plus Gareth McLean is here to cast a beady eye over the week's TV news, and Emily Bell is my (sole) trusty guide through the media world.
