BBC World Service - The Fifth Floor, My Country in the News: 2018

Journalists digest the year’s serious and funny stories, with a nod to social media

Keeping up with the news and still washing your hair:  BBC language service journalists share their year with David Amanor.

Skripal, Khashoggi, and North Korea talks: Olga Ivshina of BBC Russian, Öykü Altuntaş of BBC Turkish and Hwang Su Min, editor of BBC Korean, share their experiences of covering big news stories, as well as the smaller ones that simply raised a smile.

Social media and the news
Social media plays an ever greater role in journalism, so how do you manage it?   Hanan Razek of BBC Arabic, Bidhaan Dahir of BBC Somali, and Nathalia Passarinho of BBC Brasil share stories of inspiration and insight, as well as threats and confusion.
