Did the UK media help make Brexit a reality?




Has the tone of UK media coverage shifted since the EU referendum? Plus, the coverage of solitary confinement in the US.



Did British media show Brexit bias?
It has been more than a week since the UK voted to leave the European Union and the story continues to dominate the headlines. But did the British media do their job before the vote? Were the facts sufficiently covered and were broadcasters as impartial as they are required to be? And has the tone shifted now that Brexit is a reality?
Talking us through the story are: Justin Lewis,  a professor of Communications, Cardiff University; Natalie Fenton, vice chair of Hacked Off and professor of Communications, Goldsmiths University; Toby Young, a journalist for Spectator; and Craig Murray, author and blogger.
