Football: How Much is Too Much?
Did the 大象传媒 World Service focus too much on Leicester City's Premier League win?
On 3 May Leicester City Football Club won the English Premiership League against all odds. It was the top story across most of the output that day. Did the 大象传媒 World Service go too big on one English football story? Listener Michael Hughes from Tyne and Wear, UK, believes it should not have been pegged to a world news story. He talks to the 大象传媒's Global News assistant editor Adrian Hobart, who explains the intricacies of representing bigger sports stories in news programmes.
Also, listener Nick from Montreal, Canada and Mark from Michigan, USA, explain why they love the Music Extra documentary, The Secrets of Songwriting.
