From Our Own Correspondent Folgen

From Our Own Correspondent is 60 years old this month, and we are marking the anniversary with some special programmes. In this morning's 60th Anniversary Special discussion about foreign reporting, some of the featured panellists and correspondents in the audience talked about despatches they remembered. Kate Adie now introduces those reports in full. They include Lyse Doucet on the Afghan New Year in 2012, Tim Whewell on the only grand piano in Gaza earlier this year, Lindsey Hilsum on the frightening days of genocide in Rwanda in 1994, James Coomarasamy in Paris in 2003 when his son's paediatrician recommended roquefort cheese, and Fergal Keane writing to his newborn son in Hong Kong in 1996. Producer: Arlene Gregorius.

As part of marking 60 years of reporting on landmark international events by Radio 4's iconic series, "From Our Own Correspondent", Owen Bennett-Jones presents a discussion, recorded at London's Frontline Club, on how foreign reporting has evolved over the decades – and where it is heading. Joined by a panel of leading journalists and an audience that includes experienced reporters on foreign events, the programme recalls outstanding moments of foreign reporting. How did coverage of significant events – such as the Suez Crisis, the independence of former British colonies and the fall of communism – shape our views of the world, of particular countries and peoples? The programme will also consider how politics and broader economic and social changes – plus the demands of modern-day broadcasting – have all changed the way correspondents now bring often complicated international stories to diverse audiences here at home. Some developments continue to be far-reaching – such as China's transition from revolutionary peasant state to burgeoning economic power and the advent of extreme Islamism. How have more specialised reporting, embedding journalists with different participants in conflicts and focusing on the experiences of the general public changed the way we understand such issues? And how is the use of social media affecting reporting on foreign events? The programme will name the places we should be watching in the years ahead, and discuss how reporting is likely to change further as "citizen journalists" become ubiquitous and the trustworthiness of information around the world becomes ever more important. Producer: Simon Coates
