Women's Sport is Having a Media Moment

Women’s sport is having a moment. In the UK, the Women’s FA Cup Final between Man Utd and Spurs was attended by 76,082 fans on Sunday (including me). That’s just shy of the record-breaking 77,390 who went to Wembley last season. Today, Arsenal Women announced that they will use the club’s main Emirates Stadium as their base from next season.

On this week's podcast, I spoke to the New York Times media reporter Ben Mullin about NPR and the outburst from its former producer Uri Berliner. As I understand it, Berliner's colleagues were somewhat shocked when his essay was released by The Free Press. There are now concerns about him being dragged into the right-wing media ecosystem in the US. Worth keeping an eye on what podcasts he pops up on. There is... uhum... febrile speculation in the UK today that prime minister Rishi Sunak will...

Britain is heading towards local elections in May and then a General Election, now expected around October/November. The rules around broadcasting during the so-called "regulated period" in the run-up to polling day are very strict. This is likely to please one of the country's political parties, which is having something of a dispute with one channel about their output. More on that to come...
