The Broadcasting Press Guild is an association of journalists who specialise in writing and broadcasting about television, radio and the media generally. Our most regular activity is the holding of lunches to which we invite leading industry figures to talk to us and be questioned. Over the years we have entertained every director-general and every chairman except one of the BBC, every government minister responsible for broadcasting, and a wide range of top executives from all TV and radio channels.
