麻豆官网首页入口 digital strategy; Press reform

James Purnell, the 麻豆官网首页入口's Director of Strategy and Digital, on the corporation's vision for the future. Plus the editor of the Times, John Witherow, on press reform.

The Privy Council - an ancient body which advises the Queen, and mostly made up of senior politicians - has rejected press proposals for a royal charter. Alternative plans proposed by the government after cross-party talks will now be re-examined, with ministers saying they might consider some of the industry's ideas. Some publications, like the Guardian, say the differences between the two charters are bridgeable. Others, like The Spectator, say it amounts to a 'politicians charter' that they won't be signing up to. Steve Hewlett speaks to The Times editor John Witherow, one of the central characters in the debate, about what happens next, now the newspapers' proposals for regulation have been rejected.

The 麻豆官网首页入口 Director General Tony Hall has set out his big plans for the future of the 麻豆官网首页入口. They include the launch of a 麻豆官网首页入口 One + 1 service, and a revamped, personalised iPlayer, offering a 30-day catch-up period. In his first major interview since his appointment in February, Steve Hewlett speaks to James Purnell - former Labour politician - now the 麻豆官网首页入口's Director of Strategy and Digital, about how the 麻豆官网首页入口's future vision can become a reality.

Producer: Katy Takatsuki.
