Mediawatch for 19 March 2023

From Mediawatch, 9:08 am on 19 March 2023

On Mediawatch: the government scrapped more policies to focus on ‘bread and butter’ issues and the cost of living this week. The media said this was popular with the public, but their own opinion polls seemed to say the opposite as well.  

Also - confusion and concern over how to commemorate the March 15 mosque attacks four years on - and talk radio outbursts that sparked a backlash and an apology.
