Politics and the Press, Then and Now

25 November 2021, 6:00 pm–7:15 pm

Trevor Kavanagh (The Sun), Catherine MacLeod (The Herald), Alice Thomson (The Times) and Patrick Wintour (The Guardian): Politics and the Press, Then and Now. Politics has changed hugely in the last 40 years; so has the press; and so has the interaction between them. In this seminar four senior political correspondents reflect on what journalism was like at the start of their careers; how it has changed during their lifetimes; and how that has changed the way the press reports on politics, and the way politicians respond. Trevor Kavanagh was for many years Political Editor of The Sun, Catherine MacLeod was Political Editor of the Glasgow Herald, Alice Thomson is a columnist on The Times, and Patrick Wintour is diplomatic editor for The Guardian.
