[Swprograms] Programmes I Like ( #13)

"Analysis"--BBC World Service:

   One of the lesser known current affairs programmes on the World
Service, "Analysis" is a 12-13 minute slot devoted to a wide range of
topics currently in the news. Each edition, which focuses on a single
topic, is introduced by the studio continuity announcer, who also
introduces the presenter.

   The hosts are various BBC reporters, presenters, and personnel.
Occasionally, a programme is presented by a BBC correspondent "in the
field".

   Various aspects of the topic are highlighted by the presenter, who
then offers comment and analysis on those many facets. Supportive
commentary from experts are then used to amplify, clarify, explain,
support, and offer greater detail for the host's views.

   This provides a programme that is a running analysis and commentary
on various sides of an issue, with expert commentary used to support
that critique. This makes it similar to a research paper or learned
presentation--an analysis is presented and views are expressed, which
are then supported by references  to "learned" sources.

   Final thoughts are offered by the host as a summation and/or
conclusion to what has gone before.

   "Analysis" presents a more in depth analysis of a news story than
offered by other current affairs shows on the World Service. There is
more background, context, explanation, and opinion of the topic than
we get in those other shows.

   It is well worth a listen.
