The Media Show: Reporting Charlie Kirk鈥檚 killing
Assessing media coverage of Charlie Kirk鈥檚 killing and the Unite the Kingdom rally. With James O鈥橞rien, Isabel Oakeshott and Guto Harri.
The killing of US conservative commentator Charlie Kirk has raised questions about how the media should report on controversial figures while still showing respect to victims and their families. Meanwhile in London, more than one hundred thousand people joined the Unite the Kingdom rally, where Elon Musk spoke by video link. The event has sparked fresh debate about whether using terms like 鈥渇ar right鈥 helps explain what happened or risks pushing audiences away. LBC鈥檚 James O鈥橞rien, Talk TV鈥檚 Isabel Oakeshott and political commentator Guto Harri give their views on the challenges facing journalism when reporting on divisive stories.
