Media Confidential offers an insider's look at the media landscape, served up by two industry titans—Alan Rusbridger and Lionel Barber. These veteran editors pull back the curtain to show us the what, who, and how of media today. Barber, once in charge of the Financial Times, and Rusbridger, former Guardian chief, deliver candid interviews and deep-dive conversations that are both revealing and thought-provoking. What sets this podcast apart is its authority—this duo has been in the trenches, and they share their unique insights with a healthy dose of realism. Media Confidential is a news commentary podcast by Prospect Magazine.
