Claire Enders speaks with Radio 4's Woman's Hour to discuss the issue of Page 3 girls in The Sun and the wider context of the entertainment media market.

In an interview with the Financial Times, Claire Enders commented on the implications of Ofcom's statement finding BSkyB to be a "fit and proper" broadcaster but criticizing James Murdoch. The regulator said his "conduct in relation to events at News Group Newspapers repeatedly fell short of the conduct to be expected of him as a chief executive officer and chairman.” “It has coalesced all the information out there and rammed it home again,” Claire said.

Douglas McCabe was invited on to BBC Radio 4's You&Yours to discuss the challenges and opportunities for magazine publishers, as a new magazine launch is announced.

In an interview with the Financial Times, Benedict Evans said that the launch of the iPhone 5 puts Apple “back into a tech leadership position” for the next six to nine months.

“Effectively, Apple is maintaining the status quo,” he said. “It has probably the best phone on the market but also the most expensive, and it will continue selling in large numbers at high prices while Android sells in far higher numbers at much lower prices to quite different customers.”

In contrast to their US counterparts, UK media and news publications opted not to publicise nude photographs of Prince Harry on holiday, in line with requests from St James' Palace. This sparked debate on the role of recent press scandals in subduing the industry voice. Claire Enders speaks with BBC Radio 4's Today programme to discuss motivations behind the decision.

On BBC Radio 4's Today programme, Claire Enders discussed the pressures on print media. She covered accelerating circulation decline and the challenges to monetising digital platforms. Claire also discussed the different approaches by key publishers to embrace the digital sphere, and the varying degrees of success these have achieved.

On the first day of Rupert Murdoch's appearance before the Leveson Inquiry, Claire Enders is asked to take part in a discussion led by Steve Hewlett, tracing back the rise of the Murdoch family in media and politics, events around the proposed BSkyB merger and issues regarding media ownership.

Ian Maude speaks with John Hockenberry of The Takeaway radio on Facebook 's IPO in the context of similar moves by other technology giants, incuding Google and AOL, and what this might mean for the company.

Following the resounding protest vote by shareholders unhappy with the prospect of reappointing James Murdoch to the board of News Corp (Investors take issue with Murdoch's son), the Financial Times observed that investors' ire was not driven by the unfolding scandal of phone hacking, but instead signalled their dissatisfaction with the the control exercised by the Murdoch family.

Following news that the BBC intends radically to prune its online empire from 400 to 200 websites (BBC to shed 360 staff in online revamp), the FT observed: "By ruling out involvement in publishing local listings, social networking or music streaming, the BBC is for the first time attempting to create clear limits for its online ambitions."

Ian Maude was asked for his view. He said: “Even with its wings clipped, the BBC is going to be the biggest online news and long-form [online] video provider in the UK", and he added: “A lot of the cuts are symbolic – all the key sites will continue. Getting rid of a half of their domains does not equate to [losing] half their traffic. It will have a much smaller impact than the figures suggest.”
