| 0115 | 15.01 | A right Royal PR disaster The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have announced that they are stepping down as senior members of the Royal family, a decision that is thought to have been partly motivated by negative press coverage they receive in the UK. Yet their plan and the manner in which it was revealed, has enraged sections of the press even further. Also in the show, why the boss of BritBox wants it to be "the biggest box of British box-sets".

| 0129 | 29.01 | Brexit's "done" - so what will the media talk about now?!

| 0219 | 19.02 | Fake news, strong views, Yorkshire and me The Yorkshire Post is one of the oldest titles in the country and styles itself as “Yorkshire’s National Newspaper”. During the 2019 general election, the paper’s scoop about “the boy on the hospital floor” reached a huge audience and influenced the debate. But it also spawned a conspiracy theory.

In Italy the newspaper Corriere della Sera has been accused of endangering public health after it published a leak of a government order to lock down the north of the country, resulting in people fleeing the region before it was implemented.

| 0415 | 15.04 | The Rehabilitation of Channel 5 When Channel 5 launched in 1997, it promised to be "modern and mainstream".

Under the leadership of Ben Frow, Channel 5 has been transformed into RTS Channel of the Year, attracting upmarket viewers with documentaries about the National Trust and a Michael Palin travelogue. In this extended edition of The Media Show, Ben Frow tells Amol Rajan more about his strategy, and discusses his own career journey which began as a costume maker. | 42:01 |
| 0422 | 22.04 | Liberalism, leading, and the lockdown As the world faces an economic downturn worse than the Great Depression, there’s perhaps never been a better time to be running a magazine about global affairs called The Economist.

| 0513 | 13.05 | How data journalists became the rock stars of news Data journalists were until recently a niche part of the news industry, but the spread of coronavirus has meant their work is now regularly on the front page. How objective is data journalism and is it open to the same biases as any other type of reporting? Also, do journalists have a duty to lift the mood of the nation and look for good news stories? Or is that incompatible with journalism’s job of speaking truth to power? | 27:52 |

Campaigners said it was evidence of systemic racism in the British media, that editors judged an update on a white child, who went missing 13 years ago, to be more important than millions of black people protesting around the world. Is that true? | 28:12 |
| 0617 | 17.06 | Opinions on opinion What role does opinion play in journalism?

| 0819 | 19.08 | Our love-hate relationship with the tech giants The tech giants receive a lot of bad press, have been accused of operating monopolies, and are even seen as security risks.
