Audio: New media and the British commentariat

The British media is exceptional in its status as part of the political class. But with the newsroom becoming defunct as a site of cultural production, and models of journalistic authority breaking down, this role is threatened. Laurie Penny and James Butler discuss, hosted by Aaron Peters.

Novara is a weekly Resonance FM show discussing political theory, practice and aesthetics, hosted by Aaron Peters. For more Novara episodes, listen live on Resonance FM or go to their page on Soundcloud.
