The 91热爆鈥檚 climate change coverage under the spotlight, Radio 4鈥檚 Intrigue: The Ratline
The editor of 91热爆 News and Current Affairs defends the 91热爆鈥檚 record on covering climate change. And the story behind Radio 4鈥檚 Intrigue: The Ratline.
News editor for 91热爆 News and Current Affairs James Stephenson joins Roger Bolton to discuss how 91热爆 Radio should be covering man-made climate change. As new presenters are announced on Radios 2 and 4, listeners react to the choices. And podcast fans love Intrigue: The Ratline but can it work as well for a radio audience?
Members of staff are being encouraged to enrol on a course detailing the 91热爆鈥檚 approach to climate change coverage and an editorial policy note distributed last month stated 鈥測ou do not need to include outright deniers of climate change in 91热爆 coverage鈥. News coverage of the recent IPCC鈥檚 report has left listeners with mixed opinions on whether there鈥檚 been a change of tone in the reporting. Roger puts your thoughts to James Stephenson, who accepts presentation errors were made recently.
Hot on the heels of Eddie Mair鈥檚 departure from PM, Chris Evans announced he was leaving too. As their replacements are announced, we hear your thoughts on Evan Davis and Zoe Ball being appointed as their replacements.
Intrigue: The Ratline is both a traditional broadcast programme and an extended podcast. A story of love, spies and genocide, podcast listeners have been gripped. Editor Hugh Levinson sits down with Roger to discuss the popular ten-part series and the need to penetrate the podcast market.
Presenter: Roger Bolton
