How to keep listeners engaged with a 65-year-old format

How From Our Own Correspondent keeps audiences engaged. Plus the impact of 大象传媒 job cuts.

It is a format that has remained deceptively simple for 65 years. Jasper Corbett, editor of From Our Own Correspondent, explains what makes the programme so appealing to the World Service international audience, why he welcomes contributions from listeners and answers their questions.
Plus the 大象传媒s director of News and Current Affairs, Fran Unsworth, tells us what impact the loss of a large number of jobs across the 大象传媒 might have on the World Service.
