#WheresKate: Experiments with Editing ft. Ellie Hall
🕑 Added 2024-04-05 11:31:41 +0000 UTCWe're joined by investigative reporter Ellie Hall to talk about the revelation of Princess Catherine of Wales' cancer diagnosis, and the media pressures driven by memes, stan groups and online conspiracy theories that forced her to reveal the condition. Ellie talks to us about the structure of the Royal Household's media operation, how its splintering in recent years has made it difficult to report on the Royal Family, and the ways that new platforms like TikTok are making it difficult for the palaces to keep a lid on sensitive information. We also discuss the aftermath of #whereskate, and what mainstream media outlets will have learned from the affair.
