Welcome to CMT's podcast series DoubleTake where we lift the lid on the issues shaping today’s media landscape. Each month, a member of our Centre sits down with stakeholders—people with real skin in the game—to unpack challenges facing news media.
In 2025, we explored everything from the challenges arising from mis‑ and disinformation, media freedom under political pressure, content moderation, the influence of digital platforms, national security reporting, online abuse, and the intersection of journalism and AI. Our guests unpacked global perspectives—from Europe’s regulatory frameworks to America’s media under Trump—while also confronting urgent local questions about trust, governance, and democracy.
Whether it’s the integrity of our information environment, or the wild frontier of podcasting itself, DoubleTake offers a fresh lens on the trends and tensions shaping media today. Join us as we think critically, debate openly, and seek solutions for a more ethical and resilient news ecosystem.
