Examining events through the world’s media

The editor of Global Jigsaw and ask what inspired the format. And did Witness History give due credit to all the Allies taking part in a WW2 campaign in North Africa?

We live in an age of information warfare, weaponised narratives and captured media. So, what agendas are at play behind these? In a new series called The Global Jigsaw, BBC Monitoring tackles one subject in-depth in each episode, examining its portrayal through global media outlets. We ask the show’s editor what inspired this format and find out what listeners make of it.

Plus, did Witness History give due credit to all the Allies taking part in a campaign in North Africa during World War Two? One listener takes issue.
