BBC World Service - Over to You, World Cup Reporting

Did coverage of the World Cup impact on reporting other global news stories?

As the World Cup comes to an end this weekend, Rajan Datar explores some of the concerns of listeners who have contacted the World Service about subjects like the absence of Newsday on the iPlayer, and whether coverage of the World Cup has squeezed out reporting on other global news stories, such as events in Iraq. He hears about the scale of social media interest in the football competition, and how the World Service has reported on more than football from Brazil. Plus, Rajan hears from the presenter of the documentary Yellow Cab Blues, about how she found the characters she features driving cabs in New York.
