Iran protests and international coverage
Reporting on protests in Iran and criticism of international coverage, UK action over Musk鈥檚 AI tool Grok, and the producer behind the film Hamnet.
Ongoing protests in Iran have prompted scrutiny of how international media organisations report events in a highly restricted environment, with criticism focused on prominence and framing of coverage. Behrang Tajdin of 麻豆社 Persian and Lyse Doucet, the 麻豆社鈥檚 chief international correspondent, set out the editorial constraints and considerations involved.
The UK government has announced new measures targeting AI-generated sexualised images, alongside an Ofcom investigation into Elon Musk鈥檚 chatbot Grok. The case has raised questions about platform accountability and the ability of national regulators to act on global technology companies. CNN鈥檚 AI correspondent Hadas Gold outlines the political and regulatory response in the US.
The film Hamnet has opened in UK cinemas following major awards recognition, drawing attention to how producers identify and secure projects at an early stage. Liza Marshall of Hera Pictures describes how she acquired the rights to a story that is now the toast of Hollywood.
