The Media ShowAvailable for over a year
BBC Director General Tony Hall has revealed his plans to reshape the senior leadership team at the corporation. But it's not what analysts were expecting. We look into what's going on behind the scenes with this BBC reorganisation. We hear reaction from Ben Dowell of the Radio Times, Daily Telegraph Radio Critic Gillian Reynolds and broadcasting consultant Tim Suter, formerly of Ofcom, the Department for Culture Media and Sport, and the BBC. Also on the Media Show, the two German investigators behind the Panama Papers - Frederik Obermaier and Bastian Obermayer of the Suddeutsche Zeitung - reveal how they put together the international story that brought down governments and revealed the secret money trails and tax havens of world leaders, criminals and big business.
