Taken from the weekly promotional BBC mailing: "Focusing on a day in the life of a news network, the first of two programmes compares three international rolling TV networks' responses to the same day's events.
On 30 October 2007, Saudi King Abdullah visited London and live footage of the event was simulcast by BBC World, Al Jazeera and CNN. Allan Little finds out how news editors at the three stations decided how to present the story hears about the editorial dilemmas which faced them. He also hears from critics of news broadcasting who point out that events such as this are staged purely for the cameras and say that the news media themselves become, arguably, complicit in a kind of official PR campaign." This is the Monday Documentary... global air times here (http://www.bbc.co.uk/worldservice/programmes/programme_times/m_o.shtml); potentially audible shortwave air times include Mondays 1406 and 2106 (targeting Africa). Not aired during the four daily hours when the Americas stream is on shortwave.
