The elections are over and the results are in - but a giant inflatable Boris Johnson has captured much of the press attention. So how does our new cycle work? Who gets to decide what stories make the front page, and how much control do politicians have over their depictions in the press? Plus, the 'news wire' agency Reuters provides photos, breaking news lines and copy to much of the world's press. How do they help to keep the news cycle spinning?

Guests: Michael Friedenberg, President of Reuters News; Thomas Cock, Digital Editor of Bristol Live; Catriona Stewart, Chief Reporter at the Glasgow Times; Stephen Bush, Political Editor at the New Statesman; Katy Balls, Deputy Political Editor at the Spectator.

Studio engineer: Giles Aspen

Producer: Hannah Sander

Presenter: Mobeen Azhar
