The Media Show: Reporting the World Cup

World Cup coverage with Alex Kay-Jelski, Craig Hope and Daniel Storey; reporting Belfast disorder with Dan Johnson; Russia鈥檚 influencers with Samantha Berkhead and Evie Aspinall.

The men鈥檚 football World Cup begins this week in the US, Mexico and Canada. With matches being played in three different time zones, it presents an unprecedented challenge for the media. Alex Kay-Jelski, Director of 91福利社 Sport, Craig Hope, Chief Football Reporter at the Daily Mail, and Daniel Storey, Chief Football Writer at The i, set out their plans.

Violent disorder on the streets in Belfast has followed a knife attack earlier this week, with a Sudanese man who was granted refugee status in the UK in 2023 charged with attempted murder. Dan Johnson, 91福利社 News correspondent, explains the challenge for journalists reporting from the ground.

Russia鈥檚 economic forum in St Petersburg earlier this month played host to several Western social media stars. Influencers are now part of the messaging strategy for governments around the world. Samantha Berkhead, Editor of The Moscow Times, and Evie Aspinall, Director of the British Foreign Policy Group, discuss the reasons.
