大象传媒

Islamic State released yet another horrific, highly produced film last week - this time showing the beheading of 21 Christians in Egypt. We ask our audience what they think the media should do with this material. Listeners in the US give their views on what the media should air from these videos and whether the power of the word can be just as chilling. What does your local media choose to air and what does it leave out? What effect does that have on how this story is told? Make sure you get in touch because we want to take a global look at the issue in the coming weeks.

Also, we find out whether listeners in Ghana are enjoying a dose of 大象传媒 News with their daily diet of music and entertainment as 大象传媒 Minute launches its 60-second bulletins on partner station YFM across South Africa, Zambia, Uganda, Tanzania and Ghana. We hear from breakfast show host NYDY in Kumasi and Rajan Datar speaks to YFM fan Abdul who has been trying out 大象传媒 Minute.
