Delighted to announce the paperback of You May Never See Us Again, out on October 17th. Updated with the past year's shenanigans & more. Available in bio and all good bookshops. So grateful to amazing readers and reviewers who made it possible❤️@GeorginaCapel @PenguinUKBooks
One of the most exciting things I saw in an incredible few days at #IJF25 was Sophina, an AI tool that journalists can use to amplify their own work. @sophiasgaler is the latest amazing winner of @WIJ_UK Georgina Henry award for innovation and she’s really helping us all ♥️
Excited to chat about what I’ve been up to as a freelancer, including building my following, my collaborations and my AI tool, Sophina 2/2
Some people call this a personal news klaxon but I’m mainly just delighted at joining the Guardian board when the world needs its journalism more than ever theguardian.com/gnm-press-offi…
Good column by @BeebRoger on why Tim Davie shouldn’t stand down and why we need more not less reporting from Gaza theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
The Telegraph thought it was all over, but it’s not yet. The continuing sale saga continues. When the history of British newspapers is written the Telegraph will need a very large chapter… observer.co.uk/news/business/…
Great to hear Tim Davie in a relaxed chat about the BBC and more @cityjournalism. Repeated his plea for funding for the world service and a universal service. The challenge will be getting government to fund the former and licence fee payers the latter
Loved the end of an era montage of @GaryLineker’s playing career followed by “it wasn’t meant to end this way”. Whatever else happens #MOTD will miss him
A huge loss to the creative and cultural life of the nation - AbFab Bowie arm wrestling for W1a too many to mention ♥️
Influential arts broadcaster and BBC documentary-maker Alan Yentob has died aged 78 bbc.in/4khppCq
It’s almost two years to the day but could this international offer for the Telegraph finally mark a finale for the “newspaper auction from hell” telegraph.co.uk/business/2025/…
Really surprised he isn’t watching watching #Eurovision2025
THE SUPREME COURT IS BEING PLAYED BY THE RADICAL LEFT LOSERS, WHO HAVE NO SUPPORT, THE PUBLIC HATES THEM, AND THEIR ONLY HOPE IS THE INTIMIDATION OF THE COURT, ITSELF. WE CAN’T LET THAT HAPPEN TO OUR COUNTRY!
A day of online meetings totally improved by a chat with @SamiraAhmedUK and @Jake_Kanter. @newswatchbbc a treat as ever
Can BBC News help to solve a "crisis in trust"? Director-General Tim Davie's speech this week analysed by @janemartinson and @Jake_Kanter on Saturday at 07.45 on BBC1 @BBCBreakfast, repeated at 15.45 on the News Channel. Also on the iplayer from midnight tonight.
Not only one of the great journalists but one of the loveliest men. When I joined the guardian as US correspondent Duncan had just been posted to LA. He could not have been kinder or more helpful to a new recruit even one writing about mucky finance RIP theguardian.com/media/2025/may…
RIP the brilliant journalist Andrew Norfolk. I loved interviewing him in 2014. Even then he was an “increasingly rare thing, an old-school shoe-leather reporter”. But what a legacy he leaves share.google/REMRO93QOXOcom…
A standing ovation for Mohammed Salem the brave Reuters journalist documenting tragedy in Gaza #sirharrysummit sirharrysummit.org/watch/#nav
A great question to start the #sirharrysummit with the inimitable Tina Brown and a great panel #truthtellers
Mr Bates vs the Post Office wins best TV drama @vlvawards of course. Producer @Patrickspence2 pays tribute to not just the team but the journalists who followed the story 🙌🏼
Here we are about to celebrate the best in public service broadcasting from 2024 with the fabulous, inimitable @jonculshaw #vlvawards
This post-Huw Edwards BBC shakeup feels awfully familiar – and insiders aren’t impressed theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
Morning Joy brought by two great women journalists . Listen to Anna Foster reporting on Ukraine @BBCr4today and the great @TinaBrownLM on Trump and the media is a joy! Can’t wait for #truthtellerssummit tinabrown.substack.com/p/how-trump-ou…
Arresting cover image on first day of new #Observer - the leaders of US and Ukraine face to face before a higher power?
Join the debate on the 30 April with a host of experts from the industry chaired by @janemartinson to ask where will the next Mr Bates & the Post Office, Wolf Hall or Gavin & Stacey come from & who will pay? To book payments.vlv.org.uk/Event-Search
