Press Gazette magazine: Top 50 political reporters and guide to general election

By Dominic Ponsford1

With the general election campaign proper almost upon us the April edition of Press Gazette has a decidedly political feel.

  • We name the top 50 political reporters.
  • We have the results of a unique opinion poll revealing which publications have the most clout when it comes to influencing voters, which news organisations are most trusted when it comes to politics and what media platform is most important when it comes to informing how people will vote.
  • We also have a 16-page guide to the general election which includes: tops tips from the stars of the Lobby, at-a-glance guide to party contacts and briefings on using opinion polls, political betting and the TV debates.
