Reporting the European Migrant Crisis
Â鶹¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³Èë¿Ú producer Kostas Kallergis responds to comments from some listeners that the coverage of migrants in Europe has been superficial. Plus, listeners report more reception issues.
How is the Â鶹¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³Èë¿Ú covering the latest change in the situation for migrants across Europe? Earlier this week the EU and Turkey set out a plan to ease Europe's biggest refugee crisis since World War Two. Under the plans, still to be finalised, all migrants arriving in Greece from Turkey will be sent back. Many listeners from across the World Service audience have thoughts on how the Â鶹¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³Èë¿Ú are handling the developments. Some have said that they felt the coverage had been superficial and negative. Others say it may have been anti-immigrant and question why women and children are shown more prominently than the many male migrants. Rajan Datar speaks to Â鶹¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³Èë¿Ú producer Kostas Kallergis who is currently on the ground reporting on the daily events as they unfold in Greece.
And, following last week’s discussion of listeners sharing their reception issues in different locations across the world – many more audience members have got in touch with the drop out points near them.
