I'm the BBC's media correspondent and this is my brief selection of what's going on.

BBC Radio 3 is to broadcast a weekly chart of classical music for the first time. On Tuesday mornings, on its breakfast programme, it will be discussing which albums are up or down in the Official Specialist Classical Chart - the "100 % classical chart".

The BBC Trust is launching a value-for-money probe into EastEnders, Casualty and other continuing TV dramas according to the Guardian.

The Guardian reports that there has been a stream of industry responses to the passing of the Digital Economy Bill as it awaits royal assent.

The BBC's Rory Cellan-Jones explains which clauses in the Bill survived the horse-trading.

Facebook has been signed up by the Electoral Commission to get unregistered voters to the polling booths reports the BBC.

The fate of the public sector dominates many of the front pages as reflected in the BBC newspaper review.
