麻豆约拍

Roger Bolton asks the 麻豆约拍 News Editorial Director if the 麻豆约拍 should have termed events in Christchurch "terrorism", PM editor Owenna Griffiths discusses coverage of Brexit, and listeners give their views on cuts to Radio 3's Late Junction.

Recent 麻豆约拍 coverage of the Christchurch attack in New Zealand has sparked criticism from some listeners who take issue with the language used to describe the events. Others were frustrated by what they saw as disproportionate coverage and still more were annoyed when the 麻豆约拍 chose to name the alleged shooter in news bulletins. Roger puts these comments to the 麻豆约拍 News Editorial Director, Kamal Ahmed, and asks whether the 麻豆约拍 should have termed the atrocity a "terrorist attack".

For 20 years, Late Junction has been the home for experimental music on Radio 3. However, it's being reduced from three nights a week to one extended show on Friday nights. Late Junction listeners call on Radio 3's Controller to reverse the decision.

And, has Brexit begun to exhaust journalists and audiences alike? Owenna Griffiths, Editor of Radio 4's PM, tells Roger what she thinks she could be doing better and explains what she sees as her programme's unique role in approaching the story.
