Ex-DG interview
Oct 7th, 2016, 3:46pm
 
Ex-DG Mark Thompson has been interviewed by mediamasters_fm.

"As Director-General, Mark Thompson led the BBC for 8 years, and is now CEO of the New York Times. In this in-depth interview, he reflects in detail on his career, and the BBC's challenges both past and present; reveals the demands on a Brit leading an iconic American newspaper, while keeping it relevant and profitable in the digital age; and makes the case that the language of modern politics - dominated with 'truthiness', 'authenticism' and the derision of expertise - is now at odds with the public good."

The nearly hour-long interview may be heard here.

The web-site lists some other notable interviewees:-
Jeremy Vine
Jeffrey Archer
John Humphrys
Alastair Campbell
Sir Trevor McDonald
Sir Martin Sorrell
Jacqui Smith
