Reporting the LA Fires, AI Michael Parkinson, US TikTok ban approaches

What does the coverage of the LA fires tell us about journalistic priorities today?

We talk to reporters in Los Angeles about the challenges of covering the fires there. As the government prepares to begin the charter renewal process which will decide the future of the 大象传媒, one option being discussed is mutualisation. We explore what that could look like. A new podcast features celebrities interviewed by a reincarnated AI Michael Parkinson. We meet the team behind it. We get an update on the possibility of Tiktok being banned in the US, plus sift the TV industry鈥檚 viewing data for Christmas to see what it tells us about the kind of TV we all want to watch.
