Summary

In a packed week for media news, Katie Razzall and Ros Atkins talk to Sunday Times investigative journalist Gabriel Pogrund about their article into Nigel Farage's finances which triggered a strong reaction, culminating yesterday in Mr Farage's resignation as an MP and his decision to run again in a by-election. Journalists Michael Crick and Brendan O'Neill discuss Nigel Farage's relationship with the media, his claims about press treatment over two decades, and the wider debate over how public figures are scrutinised. Media lawyer Susan Aslan is on hand to explain the reasons why Prince Harry lost his legal case against the publisher of the Daily Mail. And Michael Crick and the BBC's Sue Mitchell discuss the art and ethics of 'doorstepping'. Producer: Tim Bano
