That is the point. In the 1970s everyone used to gather around the Shortwave to hear the BBC, and it was aired in Jamaica and other ex-colonies twice a day for 1 hour. And it was the News in depth.

The BBC would begin by listing the various major stories it would cover, then go through each of the major stories and then a few minor stories then end by summing up the major stories.

You could listen, take notes and go to class and in your Social Studies Class stand up and give a report on a news event based solely on the BBC report. It was in depth.

It did not assume you knew where Sudan was, it would give you a location, a touch of history, go into the current situation, explain as it could how the current situation occurred so that people wouldn’t be led into misconception.

For example, the Crimea situation. Crimea was part of Russia, part of the Soviet Union, only given to Ukraine by Khruschev, much to the annoyance of those who lived there. They don’t want to be part of the Ukraine.

As people don’t know their history they can not understand what is going on and blame Russia.
