No Pictures = No Story; New Technologies and New Ways to Present the Story
The biggest government inquiry since Watergate has gripped the British media this past summer ... behind closed doors. So how can you bring the story to your viewers? Sky News solved the dilemma by placing a journalist inside the precincts of the court to provide live updates and by reconstructing the proceedings with actors. But that's just one way to tell a story. With remarkable leaps in graphics and virtual reality, there are new ways to make inaccessible stories more informative and visually stimulating. But is there a danger of going too far?

The Current Affairs Debate
Where is current affairs programming going? Are networks opting for reality shows like Big Brother and Wife Swap to traditional factual programmes?

Are traditional current affairs programmes that are journalistically sound but audience challenged in jeopardy?

Air Wars
Broadcasters in Russia, Italy, Australia and Britain are under assault by governments. In Russia, President Putin eliminates the last vestige of independent television journalism; in Italy, President Berlusconi wields unprecedented financial and political power over the media; the government of Australian Prime Minister John Howard sharply criticizes ABC for biased war reporting; in Britain, the BBC is under an unprecedented assault by Tony Blair's government and coming to a head in the Hutton Enquiry. Meanwhile in the US, broadcasters practice self-censorship in a post 9/11 world shaped by Fox and its unabashed patriotic journalism.
Broadcast executives and media critics discuss what this disturbing new trend means to press freedom and the free flow of information in these countries.
