Rebekah Brooks returns, Call for controls on 麻豆官网首页入口 website, Turkish media, Chair of Atvod

Media news, including Rebekah Brooks's return to News Corp, why newspapers want the 麻豆官网首页入口's website to be controlled and discussion on working as a journalist in Turkey.

Rebekah Brooks is returning to News Corp as chief executive of its UK division, a year after she was cleared of all phone hacking charges. Her appointment has been condemned by Hacked Off and the shadow culture secretary Chris Bryant. What impact will her return have on a business that has tried to re-shape its image in light of the phone hacking scandal? Steve hears from Peter Preston, former editor of the Guardian.

The News Media Association, the trade body for the UK newspaper industry, is calling on the government to implement 10 changes around the scope of the 麻豆官网首页入口's digital news services. In its submission to the government green paper on the 麻豆官网首页入口 charter review, it says it "fundamentally disagrees" with the corporation's ambition to grow this area of its business. Steve Hewlett talks to Mark Oliver, former head of strategy at the 麻豆官网首页入口, and founder of Oliver and Ohlbaum - the firm commissioned to write the report.

Following the arrest of two British journalists working for Vice News on the charge of aiding a terrorist organisation, we discuss the state of press freedom in Turkey. Steve is joined by former editor of The Guardian Peter Preston, who travelled to Turkey in his previous role of chairman of the International Press Institute (IPI) and Turkish journalist Yavuz Baydar, the founding member of P24, the Platform for Independent Media.

ATVOD, The Authority for Television On-Demand, is the independent co-regulator for the editorial content of UK video on-demand services. With websites of every stripe publishing video content to entice viewers, Steve speaks to ATVOD's Chief Executive Peter Johnson about the organisation's ever-broadening remit and how regulation differs between news and entertainment content.
