The myth about Panorama

University of Bedfordshire

Gaber looks at Panorama - the self-described "world's longest-running investigative TV show" - past and present, and writes: "This is a problematic way for a programme to brand itself. "The world's longest running..." has a slight feel of hubris about it and is almost impossible to prove. The line is also problematic because it describes Panorama as a "show" - it's a word that is probably indicative of the new style and philosophy of what, for most people interested in serious journalism, has always been, not a show, but a programme. But it's the bit in the middle, "investigative TV", that begs the biggest questions: is it, and was it ever?"
