How the Morning Meeting works
| 13:15 UK time, Thursday, 14 December 2006
Our daily editorial meeting is open to you. If you'd like to take part, read on....
When?
We meet at 1100GMT (will help you to find out what that will be in your country) from Monday to Friday and we're a reasonably punctual bunch. If we do slip one way or the other, I'll apologise in advance - but, whatever the time, if we're meeting, it'll say so here on the blog.
Where?
WHYS's main home is in a, shall we say, cosy room at the home of the ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ World Service, Bush House. So the bulk of the team work here, while one of us sits with at the ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ in West London. Of course, wherever you are, you can join the meeting online.
How do I join the meeting?
If you'd like to see what we're talking about and of course tell us what you think should make the programme, please post here, email us or call into the meeting on 00 44 20 7557 0635. We're also looking into using and . If you'd like to join the meeting that way, let us know.
What do we talk about?
It's a combination of talking through the ideas you've suggested to us, and the debates and stories we've spotted on news programmes and sites around the world. At the end of it, we'll have decided which stories or issues are going to make the running order.
How can I contribute?
You're welcome to tell us one story idea and why you think it should make the programme, or just join us to give your perspective on the stories and issues we're already aware of.
What are the criteria for getting a story on air?
The pre-requisite for a story on World Have Your Say is that it's got people talking. It might be a global talking point such as our debate on the relative importance of your state and your religion... or it can be a story which has got a single country talking such as the shooting at a Canadian school in September... if it's important to people, it'll have a very good chance of making the show.
All that said, we only have an hour on World Have Your Say so sometimes stories won't make it because there just isn't room. We'd rather do one story well than squeeze two into the same amount of time.
And that's about it. Hopefully we'll welcome you to a meeting soon.
