Reporting the death of Hugo Chavez

BBC World Service - Over to You, Reporting the death of Hugo Chavez

Was the World Service's reporting of the death of Hugo Chavez balanced?

A listener questions whether the World Service's reporting of the death of Hugo Chavez was balanced.

This week on Over To You, a listener questions whether the World Service's reporting of the death of Hugo Chavez was balanced - and discusses with a BBC newsroom editor, whether calling the Venezuelan President 'controversial' was justified.   

And after a listener asks 'what's going on with the World Service radio in the Czech Republic', we ask Simon Kendall from BBC Global News to explain the thinking behind the changes to the World Service FM service in that country.
