Reporting during an election campaign and how a party manifesto is compiled.
On this episode, Kezia Dugdale talks to Gina Davidson, Deputy Political Editor of The Scotsman, on what it is like for a journalist to be reporting during an election campaign.
Professor Graeme Roy speaks to leading polling expert Mark Diffley on how policy is reported and how decisions are made on what goes into a party manifesto - and what doesn't.
We are also joined by Katrine Bussey, Political Editor of the Press Association, who gives us an insight into what will make it into the news this week.
