Does impartiality impede good journalism?

Innovative debate series. Author and LBC presenter James O'Brien and ex-Head of 成人快手 TV News Roger Mosey debate whether impartiality impedes good journalism. With Anne McElvoy.

Anne McElvoy presents the debate programme which invites two public figures who disagree on an issue of principle to listen closely to each other's arguments - and then to find out what drives them.

In this edition, Anne is joined by James O'Brien, LBC presenter and author of 'How Not to Be Wrong', and Roger Mosey, former Head of 成人快手 Television News, to debate whether impartiality impedes good journalism.

And Anne works with conflict resolution specialist Louisa Weinstein to foster a more exploratory conversation, to encourage both speakers to probe the values and experiences that underpin each other's beliefs.
