The Addition Charlotte Henry

Journalist and author Chris Stokel-Walker joins host Charlotte Henry to discuss the effect, or lack thereof, that TikTok has had during the UK General Election campaign. Interestingly, it is Reform UK leader Nigel Farage who has performed best on the short video app. The other parties have quickly had to build a presence on the platform at short notice. However, it is unlikely to make much of a difference when people go to the ballot box.

As promised, MORE podcasts from The Addition.







Today's episode is the second part of my conversation with Dan Kennedy and Ellen Clegg. Once again, we discuss the importance of local news and the types of projects trying to rebuild it and tackle news deserts. Towards the end of the episode, we discussed blogging, something Dan has been doing for over 20 years. He is certainly sceptical about whether such sites can still make money.

Exciting news! There are going to be MORE podcasts from The Addition. I'm going to try and post episodes most days of the week. The Wednesday one will remain a big setpiece interview or conversation, potentially split into two parts if they are longer discussions. There may be more of those in the week too. On other days, it will just be me chatting about a subject for a few minutes. I hope you enjoy them and do leave comments letting me know what you think!







Today's show is part one of a conversation with Dan Kennedy and Ellen Clegg about the importance of local news and the types of projects trying to rebuild it and tackle news deserts. They have vast industry experience and have also written a book on the subject. I am, perhaps unsurprisingly, fascinated by their thoughts on media entrepreneurism.

Mathew Ingram, chief digital writer at the Colombia Journalism Review, joins me to discuss the ongoing controversy at the Washington Post. Will Lewis and Rob Winnett are set to take over the top jobs at the storied paper. However, they are being asked questions about their alleged involvement in the phone hacking scandal, including by the reporters they are supposed to be managing.







The conversation also covers a broader question - why so many Brits are taking over US media institutions.

WWDC week is always a big one on the Apple calendar. It now seems to be a big one for TV+ too. The keynote address started with a sizzle reel showing all that the service has to offer.







In the latest episode of TV+ talk, my co-host Chuck Joiner and I discuss how Apple TV+ played such a major role at an event that is still meant to be for developers. We also discuss Loot, and Argylle and add to our 'to watch' lists.
