Charlie Brooker’s Newswipe

I really do enjoy watching/reading Charlie Brooker material, his latest TV series is called Newswipe, a program which provides a satyrical yet insightful look at the world of news, a spin off from his look at TV content called Screenwipe. Below are some youtube videos of the latest episode (episode two) that someone has handily, and swiftly put on youtube.

In this Episode “Charlie Brooker sets his satirical sights on news and current affairs. In charting the rise of the public’s role in making the news via vox pops and mobile phone footage, Brooker examines the good, the bad and the absurd in citizen journalism. Plus, reviews of two big stories making the news, controversial authored pieces, a poem and much more.”

If you do live in the UK and fancy watching it, (not that i’ve particularly sold it) i’ve handily provided a link the show on iPlayer: http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b00jks6r/Newswipe_Episode_2
