The Interview

Available for over a year

Stephen Sackur speaks to Alan Rusbridger- who edited the UK’s Guardian newspaper for 20 years in the midst of a digital revolution, which transformed the news business forever. If the established media is no longer trusted, who is to blame? (Photo: Alan Rusbridger in the Hardtalk studio)
