Having rescued a lot of the Network interview archive from oblivion (and it took a lot of wrangling) we’re now trying to find ways of getting it all out there. We’re starting with this book, but hope to follow-up with non-Anderson volumes (ITC etc).
On the link now..
Last @newswatchbbc till September. No current BBC manager was available but @rogermosey is on to discuss the findings of the BBC's internal report on the controversial Gaza: How To Survive a Warzone documentary. From midnight on link or Sat 745am BBC1: bbc.co.uk/programmes/m00…
I was on @newswatchbbc with @SamiraAhmedUK discussing the BBC’s Gaza coverage. The BBC’s daily coverage is good, in my view, but the failures in current affairs are serious; and they should have shown @ramitanavai & @bendepear’s film on Gaza doctors. bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episod…
Rather enthralled by the mass of cooling towers looking over East Midlands Parkway Railway Station @C20Society
