"There is a crisis in mainstream political reporting and it is damaging our democracy. The problem has been building for a long time, since at least the late nineties when news was first digitised at scale, but it has now come to a head."

'Of course, the problems go deeper than journalism itself and extend to social and political changes that have taken place in the same period. In short, there has been a growing crisis of governance in which people have lost faith in the ability of democracy to address their needs and a tendency, therefore, to seek more extreme political formations."
