Facebook's algorithm change and why you should care
Some publishers expect to lose out from Facebook's change to how its news feed picks content. Also, Emma Scott of The Beano, and the House of Lords vote on press regulation.

Also in the programme, Emma Scott, CEO of Beano Studios on 80 years of The Beano, and Professor Brian Cathcart, founder of Hacked Off and Gary Shipton, Deputy Editor in Chief at Johnston Press discuss calls for further press regulation.
