The Political Press Box
Catherine Neilan on Tortoise Media
In this episode I speak to Catherine Neilan. She is the Political Editor of Tortoise Media. The outlet was founded in 2019 with the aim of promoting ‘slow news’, hence the name.
Amongst other innovations, Tortoise hosts editorial-style meetings with its members, opening up journalism in the process.
I spoke to Cat about her transition from business journalism to politics, the state of the Lobby. And what life is like as a political hack, covering Westminster and its often unsociable hours, as well being a parent.
