Rajan Datar hears listeners’ concerns and queries about the future of the World Service, now that it is to be funded by UK television licence payers rather than the British Foreign Office. Many people around the world would like to make their own financial contribution - so is that a viable option? Or would advertising be a better solution? And there is anxiety as to who will be responsible in future for protecting the interests of World Service listeners. Rajan raises all these questions with media expert Professor Stephen Barnett. And further afield, he hears about the importance of the ´óÏó´«Ã½ in Nepal, from Narayan Shrestha, presenter of a programme produced by the World Service Trust to promote the development of a new constitution in that country.
