Lionel Barber joined a panel of four last night for a special BBC Newsnight programme on the ‘Future of Media’.

Hosted by Jeremy Paxman, the panel consisted of Alan Rusbridger, editor of the Guardian; Peter Barron, Google’s director of external relations for Europe; and Mark Thompson, director general of the BBC.

Their discussion followed a short film by David Grossman, Newsnight’s political correspondent, which looked at the current state of the print media and how it is likely to look in the future.
