Picking the Panel on Newshour Extra

Available for over a year

How does the Newshour Extra team make sure its guests behave themselves on air? Presenter Rajan Datar puts listeners’ questions to the assistant editor, Dan Isaacs, who gives a rare glimpse into the production of the weekly discussion show. Also, Austrian listener, Maria Lehmden, is disappointed by a recent Newshour report about the controversial poem read out on German television. She believes the programme skimmed over some crucial points. Dan Isaacs responds.
