Is Political Journalism Broken?

From Dominic Cummings’ cosy texts to Laura Kuenssberg, to Boris Johnson having the Telegraph’s editorial board on speed dial, the cohort of journalists who make up the ‘Lobby’ have got a bad rap. Is mainstream political journalism in terminal decline? Or will the rise of independent and alternative media redefine ‘political journalism’ forever? And how should left wing media approach the muck of political reporting?

Novara Media’s Moya Lothian-Mclean is joined for a live debate with Ava Evans, political correspondent for Politics Joe, Adam Bienkov, political editor of Byline Times, and Maurice McLeod, chief executive of Race on the Agenda.
