Description by The News Meeting

In every newsroom there's a meeting to decide what should lead the news and why. Every Friday three Tortoise journalists compete to convince editor James Harding that they've got the top story. James has been editor of The Times newspaper and director of BBC News, which is why it's his job to decide what mattered most that week.


Episodes are released every Friday so you can catch up on three important stories from the past seven days.

In every newsroom around the world there’s a daily meeting to decide what leads the news, what follows and in what order – usually behind closed doors. In this podcast, Tortoise and Podimo want to change that, and invite you in.
