"News is what's new, what's different, what's remarkable." - Nick Robinson, BBC
Lord Soley turns the tables on Nick Robinson, the BBC's political correspondent, quizzing him on the impact of 24-hour media on politics, parliamentarians and the public's perception of Parliament.
Listen to Nick Robinson's views on the media's influence and hear his points on issues including:
- Is 24-hour news good for politics?
- Are we excluding the public from political debate?
- Does negative news put people off politics?
- How do you find out about issues affecting you, and how can politicians and the media ensure people feel engaged with and able to influence Parliament and the political process?
