Podcast 32: Beyond rolling news with Sky News

Sky News bosses Cristina Nicolotti Squires and Jonathan Levy reflect on a busy 2022 and the year ahead.

Sky News was named News Provider of the Year at Press Gazette’s British Journalism Awards in December.

The news broadcaster had a huge year – putting journalists on the ground in Ukraine every single day, covering the death of the Queen and her funeral, and chasing the latest political updates as the UK cycled through three prime ministers.
