Media Talk: The royal engagement

Lords, ladies and gentlemen – welcome to a special souvenir edition of Media Talk.

Matt Wells
is joined by James Robinson and Jane Martinson to look at – what else? – the media reaction to the engagement of Prince William and Kate Middleton. The MBEs will no doubt be in the post...

Also in the podcast, we get up to speed with all the news that's fit to print from the Society Of Editors conference, as well as the latest on the News of the World phone-hacking scandal, and we analyse the remarkable success of the Daily Mail website.

Plus, the Beatles finally arrive on iTunes, while Vanessa Feltz looks set to join BBC Radio 2, and the Sun celebrates 40 years of Page 3.

Finally, we round up the week's television news, including a triumphant launch for I'm a Celebrity and yet more shenanigans on The X Factor.

Let us know what you think on the blog below.
