Episode 9: Alan Rusbridger

This week on How I Got There, Matt is joined by the Guardian editor who presided over the Edward Snowden NSA surveillance revelations. Alan Rusbridger was also editor when the Guardian took on elements of the Murdoch press, and revealed the phone hacking scandal that led to News International paying Millions of pounds in damages & legal costs. Alan reveals what it's like to be an editor when your newspaper is coming under the utmost scrutiny as you publish stories which criticise another news organisation, or even see you clashing with the British and US governments.
