Andrew Rawnsley chairs the live debate programme which takes the form of a newspaper leader conference that decides the editorials which will appear the next day. He is joined by five prominent journalists who write leading articles for major newspapers across the United Kingdom. Three subjects in the news will be chosen and the panel will then determine - after lively discussion - what should be said about them. Two of the subjects debated will reflect current events and will encourage strong - and witty - exchanges. The third topic will be in a lighter vein. Following the discussion of each subject, Andrew will invite one of his guests - different in each case - to draw up on air, without notice, the leader for that subject and to set out what it will say. All the leading articles will be published on the Radio 4 website the following day. Producer: Simon Coates.
