MediaTel Group has confirmed four of the panel members for its fourth annual Media Question Time event, which will be held on 14 October in Westminster.

The panel for this year’s event will include Jim Hytner, marketing and commercial director of ITV; Ray Snoddy, media editor of the Times; Rupert Gavin, chief executive of BBC Worldwide and Mike Anderson, managing director of Metro Newspapers.

ITV has been signed to sponsor the event (see ITV Signed As First Media Question Time Sponsor), which will again be hosted by BBC Radio’s media correspondent, Torin Douglas.

Last year the debate on media issues at the event was led by a panel including Emily Bell, David Mansfield, Marie Oldham, John Billett and Jim Hytner (see Media Panel Denounces ITC’s Handling Of The News At Ten Affair). The then Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, Chris Smith also gave an interview in which he defended the Communications White Paper (see Chris Smith Defends White Paper In Media Question Time Interview).
