The Media Show: How Taylor Swift conquered the media
A lesson in 鈥淪wiftonomics鈥 from the journalists who report on the pop phenomenon. Hugh Grant settles his legal fight with Murdoch.
Taylor Swift is a media phenomenon. News outlets now have dedicated 鈥淪wift Correspondents鈥, Disney paid a record sum to stream her Eras tour, and she has a level of control over her music that other artists just don鈥檛. We speak to two journalists who have the job of reporting on 鈥淪wiftonomics鈥濃
Also in the programme, a development in Hugh Grant鈥檚 legal fight with one of Rupert Murdoch鈥檚 newspaper groups. The actor accused The Sun of bugging his car and burgling his flat. Now he says he鈥檚 settled the allegations 鈥 which have been denied - for 鈥渁n enormous sum鈥.
And how to report the polarising topic of gender identity. In the UK a review has been published into what care children and young people who were questioning their gender were getting from health services. It makes recommendations for clinicians 鈥 but what lessons are there for journalists who want to report on the issue?
