Professor Stephen Cushion, Director of Research at the Cardiff School of Journalism, discusses this week's decision by Ofcom on politicians presenting news programmes, the BBC's request to reduce the number of current affairs programmes in prime time, and his new research which analyses impartiality in news reporting, the representation of political parties, the impact of social media and news consumption, and generational attitudes towards impartiality.
"The rules are changing, aren't they? We're at a bit of a crossroads. Do we want to be more an opinionated type of TV and radio programming, or do we want to preserve these due impartiality guidelines."
