The dangers facing journalists

Over to You

Available for over a year

Over to You explores the dangers facing journalists in countries such as Syria and asks if there are any signs that 2014 could be a better year. Hannah Storm, director of the International News Safety Institute, tells Rajan Datar about the number of journalists who died last year, the countries which were most dangerous and explains initiatives to bring to justice those who target journalists. Plus, the festive season brought a varied mailbox from listeners, who give Rajan their views on the World Service’s output, including music on Newsday, the trailers for Carols at Kings College, and why the timechecks on the World Service should refer to GMT.
