As the BBC pauses its investigation into the alleged inappropriate behaviour of an unnamed presenter, we consider why this is still a story with more questions than answers. And what does it tell us about the influence The Sun still holds on public discourse? In a quirk of timing, it’s also the week the corporation publishes its annual report showing what it describes as “another year of extraordinary delivery for audiences” but also outlines its failure to meet all its targets for engaging audiences.

Guests: James Ball, Journalist; Jane Martinson, Professor of Journalism, City University London; Jake Kanter, International Investigations Editor, Deadline; Camilla Wright, Founder, Popbitch, Persephone Bridgman Baker, Partner, Carter-Ruck

Presenter: Katie Razzall

Producer: Simon Richardson
