Reporting Andrew arrest, robot reporters at Mediahuis and Dom's verdict on Prince Harry trial

About this episode

Dominic Ponsford and Charlotte Tobitt discuss the arrest of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, the use of AI in news reporting, and the Prince Harry privacy trial.

Dominic Ponsford and Charlotte Tobitt talk about how journalists broke news of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor's arrest and why they named him despite the privacy risk. They also discuss a plan by Mediahuis to cover "first-line" news with AI agents, and Dom gives his (somewhat premature) verdict on the Prince Harry and others versus Associated Newspapers privacy trial.
