The Media Show: The war reporter who stopped to help

Why Oz Katerji decided to temporarily stop reporting and help injured Ukrainians. Also on the show, what challenges do journalists face when reporting on populist movements?

Oz Katerji was reporting from outside the children’s hospital in Kyiv that was hit after Russia launched a wave of missiles on Ukraine earlier this week. He explains how he reached the decision to stop being a journalist and - for a few hours – join the rescue effort.

Also in the programme, how should newsrooms engage with populist movements, some of which are hostile to the press? After the National Rally faced a surprise defeat in the French elections, did the media get the story wrong? Ros and Katie speak to Dr Ayala Panievsky, presidential fellow at City University and Victor Goury-Laffont, politics reporter at Politico Europe.

Presenters: Katie Razzall and Ros Atkins
Producer: Simon Richardson
