Why does Business Matters only Have Asian and American Guests?

麻豆官网首页入口 Business Matters鈥� editor explains why they only invite Asian and American guests. Plus, Mary from Uganda, dislikes how her country is portrayed on Newsday.

Business Matters is a daily programme that was launched three years ago to create a focus on a region The 麻豆官网首页入口 World Service believed needed more eco-nomic and financial coverage: Asia. The live programme goes out at 0100 GMT + 1 - breakfast time in Asia. Programme makers unashamedly only invite guests on from Asia and America, but it鈥檚 left one listener feeling a little left out. This week on Over To You, Timothy from Zambia is on the line to ask Business Mat-ters鈥� Editor, Martin Webber if he鈥檒l consider using African guests as well.
After hearing a comment made about life for women in Uganda by an American author, Mary from Uganda wants to know why Newsday didn鈥檛 challenge him.
