Al-Jazeera’s Listening Post is another example of how conversation and comment plays a role news output. The show is a weekly insight into how the news is covered by the world’s media.
An important item of the Listening Post is Global Village Voices. Similar to BBC WHYS, the programme invites its audience to interact with the show through email, Facebook and Twitter. Through webcams, mobile phones and video messages, Listening Post directly connects with its audience and features viewer’s opinions in the show. Viewers are also encouraged to submit possible stories to be covered in the show as well as suggest a movie for Web Video of the Week.
Below is an example of how the Listening Post incorporated its audience’s views of the controversal Iranian elections of 2009.
