National Resilience Committee House of Lords

Speaker 1
Good morning and thank you very much for coming to help us with this important inquiry. I should remind you that this is a public session and we're being broadcast live. In a couple of days, you will receive a transcript of the of the session so that you'll have the opportunity to make any minor corrections of things that have come out inaccurately or or or wrong. But also feel free to follow-up whatever you're going to say today to us live in writing afterwards if there's anything you'd like to to submit then. We've obviously got a lot of questions for you.
And perhaps before you start giving your first answer, each of you, you could introduce yourselves so that we've got that on record as well. Okay? So I'm going to kick off with the first question, and that is, are there any particular criteria or factors that editors take into account when they're deciding whether or how to report on a potential or active threat, crisis, or emergency? And more broadly, is there a particular role or responsibility that the media have in terms of building national resilience or scrutinizing government and identifying risks early, perhaps through investigative journalism? I know that's a big question, but perhaps we could just start with that.
And could I start with Deborah perhaps? Sorry, Elizabeth. Yeah. Deborah. Yes.
Sorry. I'm looking at the wrong person. Yeah. Deborah.
