Abstract

The focus of this paper is on the radio news reporting of development issues. We specifically concentrate on one news agency—the BBC World Service. We outline some of the problems of news reporting, examining what makes something ‘newsworthy’. The nature of news means that a certain kind of story is produced—and therefore a particular portrayal of development is reflected. Practical constraints, such as time, and the need for a news narrative, make it difficult to cover development issues in any depth. The paper then focuses on what we call ‘development moments’ which provide the meeting points for ‘news’ and ‘development’ and explores how these could provide us with a possible reconciliation between the two fields.
