W: You're the editor of Public Eye. What kind of topics does your program cover? M: Well, there are essentially domestic stories. We don't cover international stories.

Sometimes you have a strong feeling that something is important and you want to see it examined and you want to contribute to a public debate.

They can be a story about corruption in local government, something they cannot quite understand, why it doesn't seem to be working out properly, like they are not having their litter collected properly or the dustbins emptied. W: How do you know that you've got a really successful program? One that is just right for the time? M: I think you get a sense about it after working in it in a number of years.
