The old political journalism
What they got wrong ✴ UKIP ✴ Scottish nationalism ✴ 2015 election ✴ Corbyn ✴ Brexit ✴ Trump
Covering party conference
Some new principles ✴ Show the reality, not a media construction ✴ Move around and create encounters ✴ Lose the tripod, lights and visual conventions ✴ Film all the bits inbetween: the journey is the story
Out of the bubble
Anywhere but Westminster ✴ Get out of the ring of steel, out of the bubble ✴ Talk to more members of the public, preferably in places that rarely see the media ✴ Challenge your own pre-conceptions, and those of your audience ✴ Each film is a voyage of discovery, not a pre-scripted product
UKIP
Scotland
Trump
Brexit
Politics today
The gap
What we’ve learned ✴ It’s complicated ✴ Vox pops can be powerful, but have their limits ✴ Always question your methods and assumptions ✴ Be honest with your audience and about those methods ✴ It’s all about the journey, and being true to that (about journalism) ✴ Video has not just brought the stories alive, it has made us go out and have real encounters
What we’ve learned ✴ The 20th century is over: settled, 2-party politics is finished ✴ The underlying disaffection with politics and power is not going away ✴ Polling is a dismal science – data without real encounters is almost worthless ✴ The media is as much of a problem as the politicians – maybe more of one (about politics)
