I regularly listen The World Tonight from Radio 4, and Newshour from BBC World Service, both of them are excellent news programme and highly intellectual, I particularly like the presenter Robin Lustig, his way of presenting is very engaging.
The World Tonight has more news analysis element compared with Newshour, which is pretty good , because we can grab more information of what's going on in this world.
I heard the analysis about current war situation in Afghanistan from The World Tonight, it drew me a much clear picture of Afghanistan's severe turmoil - corruption, lack of decent education, thousands of civilians being killed...Now the Bush administration is trying to redefine its strategy for the coming months in Afghanistan.
The programmes combined both feature and documentary story making approach – location reporting/recording background sound fade in and fade out, archive audio clips, experts panel discussion, one local interview etc. All these treatments and approaches helps story telling.
However, the panel discussion is quite long (25 min around!), though it's separated by the local interview (with some attractive background sound) in between, I still found a bit hard to follow. Maybe could change some of the answer into the script, and let the presenter explain.
