When the Royals Lose Control of the Story
What coverage of Prince Andrew reveals about the changing relationship between the monarchy and the press. Plus, Paul Salopek on the art of slow journalism.
New attention on Prince Andrew has reopened debate about how the Royal Family is covered by the media. Following confirmation that he will no longer use his titles and the release of Virginia Giuffre's memoir, journalists are reassessing the balance between scrutiny, access and tradition. Simon McCoy, journalist and broadcaster, Robert Hardman, royal biographer, and Emily Andrews, former royal correspondent for The Sun, share professional insight into how stories about the royals are shaped. Also on the show, Pulitzer Prize-winning foreign correspondent Paul Salopek describes his twelve-year "Out of Eden Walk," a 16,000-mile reporting journey retracing humanity's ancient migration routes.
