Ukraine’s president Volodymyr Zelensky visited Washington for talks with Donald Trump and other European leaders. The timing coincided with Anushka Asthana’s first day as US editor for Channel 4 News, who describes her early impressions of covering the American political landscape. Meanwhile, independent Russian broadcaster TV Rain, operating in exile from Amsterdam, also reported intensively on the Washington meetings. Ekaterina Kotrikadze, news director and anchor, TV Rain, explains how the organisation continues to reach audiences under pressure of censorship and surveillance. The Edinburgh TV Festival has been taking place this week, and brings together industry voices to assess the future of television in the UK and beyond. Camilla Lewis, creative director, Curve Media, and Matt Belloni, co-founder, Puck, provide their perspectives on where money, audiences and creative opportunities are moving. Hedge fund Hunterbrook is experimenting with an unusual model for the news business: publishing investigative journalism while also using its findings to guide investment decisions. Sam Koppelman, co-founder, Hunterbrook, outlines how the company separates editorial and financial operations while aiming to sustain investigative reporting. Presenter: Ros Atkins Producer: Lisa Jenkinson Assistant Producers: Lucy Wai and Martha Owen

  • This BBC podcast is supported by ads outside the UK.

  • Welcome to The Explanation from the BBC World Service.

  • I'm Ros Atkins and this is The Media Show.

  • We're here to explain the trends behind the fast-changing media landscape.

  • This week on The Media Show, we're in Edinburgh for its TV festival.

  • We'll check in on the health of the TV industry.

  • We'll also hear about reporting on President Zelensky's latest visit to the White House.

  • And we'll hear about the hedge fund which is going into journalism.

  • The Edinburgh TV Festival is a get-together for the UK TV industry.

  • You'll see plenty of executives from around the world too.

  • I've been taking part and I'm in town for the media show as well and we've been getting two quite particular perspectives on the TV industry.

  • From Camilla Lewis, Creative Director of the production company Curve Media and from Matt Bologna,

  • co-founder of the media organisation Park and presenter of the podcast...

  • I think there's a chance to get a sense of what's going on in the industry,

  • really, as opposed to just what the sessions say.

  • The sessions are very good and often very informative,

  • but because there's a lot of politics behind who says what publicly,

  • you don't really get the real gen.

  • What's fantastic about being in the lobby, talking to people as you walk past them,

  • hearing, oh, what's really going on at Netflix?
