ABSTRACT
The conversation in the autumn of 1978 went like this:
So, Ken, you are listening to BBC World Service at midnight every night?
Yes, that is how I know what goes on in the world.
And you have noticed that much of what is presented at midnight is never found in ordinary newspapers the following day?
Yes, ordinary media only give their choice of what goes on in the world.
So, why don't you record what is presented? That would give us a better picture of world conflicts!
