Meghan and Harry on Oprah: the media fallout

The Media Show addresses the media fallout from the Oprah interview with Harry and Meghan, particularly focusing on its impact on the British media landscape. The resignation of Piers Morgan from ITV's Good Morning Britain due to his criticism of the royal couple is discussed as a key event, raising questions about opinionated journalism's place in Ofcom-regulated TV. Andrew Neil, chairman of GB News, is interviewed about the business case for the upcoming news channel, which aims to offer a different perspective from the perceived left-leaning mainstream media. Concerns about GB News potentially exacerbating culture wars and lacking impartiality are debated. The discussion also touches on the Society of Editors' initial denial of racism in the UK press and the subsequent resignation of Charlene White from the Press Awards.
