NEW: Samira Ahmed has won her equal pay case against the BBC at an employment tribunal The judges said Ahmed's work on Newswatch was comparable to Jeremy Vine's work on Points of View, and that the BBC had failed to show their difference in pay was because of a factor other than sex discrimination

Sky News’ @adamboultonSKY now speaking at the Brexit in the Media event. #MediaBrexit Speaks about Boris Johnson’s time as Brussels correspondent at the Telegraph and how his career thrived on stories about condoms and bananas etc - despite frequently missing briefings. “And now he’s Prime Minister,” Boulton says to a big laugh. #mediabrexit

Panel of foreign journalists giving British Media a bit of a drubbing. British journalists used to be seen as the sharpest, but that’s changed they say. Reporters seen as failing to challenge on substance of some gov claims. #MediaBrexit Panel also says British press interpretation of comments by foreign leaders in Brexit negotiations, for example, are out of step with how same comments covered in that country’s national press. #MediaBrexit
