Available for over a year

The day after Leicester City Football Club unexpectedly won the English Premier League, The Newsroom ran a story about one of the city’s Imams celebrating. Listeners questioned whether this was a worthwhile news story. Karen Martin, programme editor, explains the reasons behind running the report. After a week packed full of bespoke programmes - from World On The Move with Angelina Jolie Pitt to The Swedish Ambassador’s Guide To The Eurovision - many listeners got in touch to air their views on how they think the BBC World Service handled the topics.
