BBC World Service - Over to You, Elections and Sportsworld on the Spot

Reporting elections and what listeners expect from the media

Reporting elections and what listeners expect from the media. And, Sportsworld reporter Steve Crossman answers three question in three minutes.

With elections in Israel this week, the postponed Nigerian election happening at the end of the month and the UK voting to decide the next government in May, everyone has been talking about elections. But what do listeners expect from the media when it comes to coverage? To kick off a global discussion about elections, Rajan Datar is joined by journalist Rupa Jha to discuss the approach in her documentary series Living India, which takes a long-term look at the effect of last year's landmark elections in India on the lives of four ordinary Indians after the media furore died down.

And, the return of three in three minutes, where this week a listener in Singapore puts Sportsworld's football reporter, Steve Crossman, on the spot to get answers to the three questions he has about Sportsworld.
