The Media Show: Piers Morgan’s YouTube bet

The Explanation

Available for over a year

Piers Morgan explains why he has stepped away from traditional television to focus exclusively on YouTube. He outlines the commercial and editorial logic behind the move and his plans to expand the Uncensored brand across digital platforms, including Substack. A UK Supreme Court ruling on the legal definition of a woman has prompted a wider examination of how British media report on gender identity. Rosamund Urwin, Media Editor at The Sunday Times, Jane Fae, Chair of Trans Media Watch, Hannah Barnes, Author and Journalist at The New Statesman, and Dominic Casciani, Home and Legal Correspondent for BBC News consider the implications of legal and ethical guidance for newsrooms. Presenters: Ros Atkins and Katie Razzall Producer: Lisa Jenkinson Assistant Producer: Lucy Wai
