Covering the World's News on Eastern Standard

Jonese Franklin

Public radio listeners are “world citizens” and, to feed our hunger for news from beyond our own borders, we have excellent resources.  This special show originated in Atlanta, Ga. on September 19, 2013 during the annual conference of Public Radio Program Directors.

 

Guests: Andrew Whitehead, former foreign correspondent for the BBC and now responsible for BBC World Service News and Current Affairs content; Andrew Sussman, Executive Producer of The World, a co-production of the BBC World Service, PRI and WGBH/Boston; and Edith Chapin, senior supervising editor of the NPR News Foreign Desk.
