On this week’s Q&A, Alan and Lionel are back with a postbag of questions.


One listener wonders if AI makes exposing the truth almost impossible, while another asks for some insider tips for new editors.


In the run up to the US election, Alan and Lionel also discuss Elon Musk’s open endorsement of Donald Trump and whether X should be penalised as a result.


The former newspaper editors also extol the virtues of courage (and Dutch courage) for journalist, plus, inevitably, more on the drinking habits of those working in the media
