In an age of tweeting, interacting and texting, anyone with a phone or a computer can potentially become a news-maker - or at least participate in the debate on topics of the day. This is changing relationship between broadcasters and their audiences. Rajan finds out why the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Hausa service is so keen to hear from people in rural areas of Northern Nigeria - so much so, it has given six villages a mobile phone. One ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ news programme recently offered a listener the opportunity to be guest editor for the day - how did they do? And Over To You links up experienced ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Africa specialist Mark Doyle with a listener in Ghana who is far from happy with Mark’s choice of Why Is Africa Poor as the title for his new series on ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ World Service.
