The 成人快手 Trust is reviewing the 成人快手's impartiality on science - what does impartiality really mean? Lord Heseltine on his 50 years in magazines; how Sky Sports may come to Freeview.

The 成人快手 Trust has started a year long review into the accuracy and impartiality of the 成人快手's science coverage, with climate change one of the topics which has attracted controversy. How does the 成人快手 and the media at large measure up to the task of reporting science? And what does impartiality mean in the context of science reporting? Steve Hewlett is joined by James Delingpole of The Telegraph, Mary Hockaday who heads the 成人快手 newsroom and Fiona Fox, director of the Science Media Centre.

Lord Heseltine has stepped down this month from his role at the magazine publishers Haymarket. He talks about the challenge of competing with magazines linked to television programmes - and ways of making money from a magazine's name even when it is no longer actually printed.

And what's really going on with pay TV? Reports have claimed that Sky is to be forced to drop the price it charges for its sports channel. Will this lead to lower prices for viewers - and will Sky get their pay channels on Freeview in return? Media commentator Mathew Horsman gives his view.
