About this episode

Professor Graham Jeffery discusses media practice, true crime obsessions, and political coverage differences.

Professor Graham Jeffery from University of the West of Scotland joined Stuart in the Talk Media studio today for a wide-ranging, fascinating chat about all things media practice. They got into our society's obsession with true crime, asked who's in control of cartography as Trump tries to rename another large body of water, and ask what makes Holyrood coverage different to Westminster. Independent media analysis is harder than ever. Our supporters allow us to stay forensic and un-influenced.
