In this episode we look at public service broadcasting.
In studio Jack chats to two of the most influential media journalists in the country, Laura Slattery of The Irish Times and Colette Sexton of The Sunday Business Post.
The three discuss Noel Curran's legacy as Director General of RTE, how he brought the broadcaster through one of the most challenging times in media history. We examine the issues RTE still face such as gender inequality, ethnic diversity and cracking digital. We also look at what's next for RTE as new Director General, Dee Forbes, takes the wheel.
