A listener talks about living in West Berlin when the Berlin Wall came down and the media climate back in 1989.
Rajan Datar talks to a listener who lived in West Berlin when the Berlin Wall came down. He talks of the media climate back in 1989 – when the internet was in its infancy, social media had yet to come on the scene, and satellite dishes were banned in most of eastern Europe – and he explains how people got their news.
Rajan also talks to the head of Â鶹¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³Èë¿Ú Hindi, Amit Baruah, about his new interactive programme, modelled on World Have Your Say. Rajan challenges him on whether programmes like this, which rely on contributions from the audience, are an indication that the Â鶹¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³Èë¿Ú is dumbing down.
