Mediawatch for 16 October 2022

From Mediawatch, 9:08 am on 16 October 2022

Mediawatch looks at the reaction to a scheme for charging farmers for agricultural emissions that was 20 years in the making - - and the links between the media, lobbying and politics. Also: can the media can help to raise the low turnout in our local elections?
