The debates will also be available as 30-second clips on social media and on All 4 via the on-demand service’s Ad Elect system.
Interim chief marketing officer of the Times and Sunday Times Victoria Bell said: “The ‘Know your times’ campaign has been hugely successful for us and this latest phase is focused on communicating how, thanks to the diversity of our writers’ opinions and our quality journalism, our titles help our readers stay well informed.
“We make some bold claims in our creative and the speed debates will prove to viewers that our writers aren’t afraid to challenge their readers and each other’s opinions.”
The campaign will also appear on TV, radio, online and the side of buses prior to the advert takeover on Channel 4.
