Do the British media over-report US politics?

The World Tonight

Available for over a year

Is there too much coverage of the US presidential election in the British media? It's a complaint frequently made, not least against the 麻豆社. Yet Americans are increasingly looking to journalism here for analysis of their own current affairs which they say is lacking at home. But is the picture we paint an accurate one? Ritula Shah discussed the issue at the Cheltenham Literature Festival with the 麻豆社's Jonny Dymond and Jim Naughtie, journalist and author Catherine Mayer and a contribution from Jan Halper-Hayes, formerly of Republicans Overseas.
