Join us for a live recording of the podcast, The News Meeting, and help set the news agenda.

In every newsroom around the world there’s a daily editorial conference to decide what leads the news, what follows and in what order. In this live version of the hit podcast The News Meeting, the audience gets a chance to see and hear how these conversations shape the news agenda.

You’ll be able to have your say, share the stories you think our editors should be talking about, and watch leading journalists battle it out to make their story the lead of the day.

Joining the line-up are Cat Neilan, political editor; Sir Trevor Phillips, broadcaster and writer; and Ben Zand, journalist and documentary maker. Together, they’ll bring insight, expertise and lively debate to the stage as they argue to deputy editor in chief Giles Whittell for what should top the news agenda.
