    Jon Sopel North America Correspondent, BBC Media Masters – July 16, 2020 Listen to the podcast online, visit www.mediamasters.fm Welcome to Media Masters, a series of one-to-one interviews with people at the top of the media game. Today, I'm joined down the line by John Sopel, the BBC’s North America editor. John has had a front row seat during the explosive Trump presidency reporting every twist and turn from the White House and beyond. As a member of the White House press corp, he's accompanied both President Trump and Obama on Air Force One and interviewed President Obama at the White House. He joined the BBC in 1983 and soon garnered national acclaim in his extensive reporting across UK politics. John has reported from Paris, presented the politics show Newsnight, and anchored the BBC News Channel. He's travelled extensively across the US and recently rode a Harley Davidson down the West Coast. He's the author of several books, including If Only They Didn't Speak English: Notes from Trump's America. John, thank you for joining me. A great pleasure to be with you. So with a bitter presidential election on the horizon, Coronavirus sweeping the US, have you ever known a news cycle as crazy as this? No, I've never known anything like this, but I suspect we're all in the same boat in whatever life we lead. I'm in a situation now where I'm speaking to you from Washington, DC. If my wife wanted to come out and join me here, she couldn't get into the country.

  • Full Programme, Transparency Symposium 3[…]
    2016. February rd 3 The London Campus of Newcastle University, London. | Page 1 ...is an informal but increasingly influential forum dedicated to encouraging greater transparency in financial services, right around the world. We are a campaigning community that believe higher levels of transparency are a prerequisite for fairer, safer and more efficient markets that deliver better value for money and better outcomes to the consumer. Because of the correlation between a lack of trust and a lack of transparency, we hope that our work on transparency will also help to rebuild trust and confidence in financial services, for the benefit of all market participants and their clients. …has a purpose; to galvanise support for the idea that there ought to be higher levels of transparency in financial services, right around the world. It is a uniquely inclusive opportunity to properly consider and the debate the keys issues, contemplate thought leadership and build consensus on the best way forward for the financial services industry and its clients, as a whole. Delegates will enjoy an environment that is conducive to candid and intelligent debate, where ideas can be exchanged in a constructive and civilised manner thereby encouraging co-operation, collaboration and collegiality, for the benefit of all. …is competed for at each of our Transparency Symposiums, by individuals and organisations that can evidence they “believe in transparency”, align with our overall objectives and want to showcase their pro-transparency credentials. There can be no doubt that the world’s financial services regulators and policymakers want greater transparency; and that asset owners, pension schemes and so on deserve it.

    Roger Mosey Master of Selwyn College, Cambridge University Media Masters – June 8, 2017 Listen to the podcast online, visit www.mediamasters.fm Welcome to Media Masters, a series of one to one interviews with people at the top of the media game. Today, I’m joined by the former BBC executive Roger Mosey. Roger has held some of the biggest roles at the Beeb starting at Radio Lincolnshire, he went on to edit some of the country’s leading news shows including PM and, of course, the Today programme. From there he became control of Radio 5 Live, then head of BBC television news, and then director of sport. In 2008, Roger was chosen to lead the BBC coverage of the London 2012 Olympic Games, a momentous job which meant he was responsible for all of the broadcasters reporting across TV, radio and online. He left the BBC in 2013 and is now master of Selwyn College, Cambridge but remains active in debates about the broadcaster’s future, criticising it for what he called ‘liberal group think’ in his memoir, Getting Out Alive. Roger, thank you for joining me. Pleasure. Getting out alive, I think that kind of sums up the tone of the memoir, does it not? It was a joke, and my cousin said it would sound like I’d been held by the Khmer Rouge for 20 years, and actually I wasn’t intending to be like that. I mean, I loved my time in the BBC, but I think there is, when you’ve gone through BBC management, a point where you try to get out with your reputation as intact as you can make it, and that was why I put the joke in the title about getting out alive.
