The Drum Show and politics | Apr 14, 2022

In this episode, which was recorded in front of a live studio audience, senior tech reporter for The Drum Chris Sutcliffe is joined by CEO of Digital Voices Jennifer Quigley-Jones and editor-in-chief of The Drum Gordon Young to go over three key stories from the previous week. We discuss Ogilvy’s decision to no longer work with influencers who distort or retouch their bodies or faces for brand campaigns as well as whether Elon Musk’s hokey-cokey approach to joining the Twitter board is good or bad news for its users. And The Drum’s reporter Hannah Bowler takes us through the drama following the government’s decision to privatise Channel 4.

The panel also asks, in light of the memeification of the Johnny Depp v. Amber Heard trial, whether UK civil cases like Coleen Rooney v. Rebekah Vardy should be televised. The unintended consequence of broadcasting ongoing trials could potentially upend individual cases, but is it more important that the public gains a better insight into how justice is upheld in the UK?
