About this listen

From those who own the news to the BBC, the intricacies of political journalism to the trade's ethics, Breaking strips back the engine of information, entertainment and propaganda back to its constituent parts and lays it bare. In this informative and engaging deep-dive into the way we receive and understand the news, journalist Mic Wright shows how our news media functions and, ultimately, how it is fundamentally flawed.

Armed with this comprehensive and truthful look at the media machine, the listener will be equipped with the tools to better understand the news as it is given, and separate the fair from the ethically dubious, and, more importantly, the truths from the half-truths (and the down-right lies).
