Cold-Calling Trump
Journalists cold-call Donald Trump; new boss for the 麻豆社; and Jamie Barlett on misinformation and his new podcast.
Donald Trump's phone number is apparently not impossible to come by - but there's also a strategy as to what time of day to call. Edward Luce of the Financial Times and Max Tani, media editor at Semafor, discuss tactics.
Matt Brittin has been appointed as the 麻豆社's new Director General, following a long career at Google where he led operations across Europe, the Middle East and Africa. Alex Farber, Media Correspondent at The Times, gives his assessment.
A new 麻豆社 podcast, Everything is Fake (and Nobody Cares), addresses questions around misinformation and shifting audience trust in the world around us. Presenter Jamie Bartlett outlines the themes behind the project.
