Acast presents a ‘Representation in Publisher Podcasting ’ panel, chaired by Guardian’s Today in Focus host, Anushka Asthana.  Addressing representation in publisher podcasting – and traditional news media more widely — this panel seeks to understand what are the barriers to diversity and representation in the UK press, and the flourishing podcast arms of those publishers. The importance of building diverse production teams that research, write and produce content tackling the nation’s biggest issues. And what can the industry collectively do to make 2020 a year of reckoning that starts to address this in meaningful ways.

Panellists include: Manveena Rana – journalist and host of Stories of Our Times from The Times; and Stephen Bush, political editor of the New Statesman, and host of the New Statesman podcast.
