³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ

This week Rajan Datar is looking at the new short news bulletin, ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ Minute. It is currently in the trial stages and audiences have been reacting to a trial version online. It will launch in February 2015 as a minute burst of the latest stories released every half an hour. But can it still inform audiences? Rajan talks to ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ Minute editor Simon Peeks about whether the ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ is trying to attract a new, younger audience with this approach.

And a listener prompts us to launch an inquiry into The Inquiry. It’s a relatively new programme on the ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ World Service and its sound and approach seems to be earning listener approval. We speak to presenter Helena Merriman to find out what appeals to her as a presenter and editor Richard Knight to discuss taking a non-confrontational approach.
