Campaign features editor Matt Barker is joined by media editor Beau Jackson in the studio to chew over some recent news stories.
The pair first chat about TV coverage of the Paris Olympics, before discussing the future of Ascential, set to be acquired by publisher and events group Informa for £1.2bn.
Talk then turns to the controversy over The Guardian's placement of a watch advert (with the tagline "Watch porn") next to a feature about men watching videos of child abuse. They then recall some of the year's other big mishaps, including Apple, Calvin Klein and WH Smiths.
