Since the war I've been listening to the BBC World Service. I can easily get it on medium wave (AM) 648Khz and have been amazed at their excellent reporting, much of which doesn't show up for hours on other news outlets.
It feels like these journalists are from the 'old school', and probably forgotten by many colleagues, who jockey for position on prime-time slots.
Yesterday I heard the friendly fire report filed by BBCWS veteran John Simpson. I have yet to hear or see such detail of this tragedy elsewhere.
You can listen to the BBC World Service in real audio.
