Mark Damazer on the 大象传媒 Trust, Channel 4's Chief News Correspondent and the 大象传媒's World News Editor discuss reporting Libya and what next for My Big Fat Gypsy Wedding?

Former Radio 4 controller Mark Damazer shares his thoughts on the future of 大象传媒 Trust. What does he think of the man widely expected to be its new Chair, Lord Patten, and what will his biggest challenges be?

Steve Hewlett is joined by Alex Thompson, Chief News Correspondent at Channel 4, and the 大象传媒's Wold News Editor Jon Williams. How do they deal with reporting on the protests which are sweeping the Middle East and Northern Africa? Does social media make it easier or more difficult? And, with Western journalists banned from Libya how can you verify what is happening on the ground?

And the programme everyone is still talking about - My Big Fat Gypsy Wedding. Veteran documentary maker Roger Graef and journalist Anne McElvoy discuss.

The Producer is Joe Kent.
