Hi there,

I'm a Senior Lecturer in Journalism - I'm also a former Radio 4 journalist. I'm doing a study on listener responses to the Today programme. Are any of you interested? if so, please post and I can send you more details!

Warm regards
KATE

I'm interested in learning more.

However, please note that people who don't enter a library are seldom considered to be part of the LT community, and are frequently considered spammers. If you wish to get a positive response, you should consider entering your library, and preferably becoming a paid-up member so that Tim gets some benefit out of your leeching off his website. If you do this, then you are likely to get a far more considered and enthusiastic response. Given the exchange rate, a fiver for a years membership seems a cheap price to pay.

Hello Kate. I have to agree with Noisy's comments: unfortunately, commercial users and self-promoters seem to have latched on to LT as a way to further their own agendas with scant regard for the community as a whole. However, assuming this is not SPAM, I would gladly participate. The Today programme has accompanied my mornings in our family for as long as I can remember and I would be happy to do anything that might help ensure the programme continues.

I do apologise. Really, I'm far of a radio junkie than an internet user! I had not seen that there was a button with a price to join and have no desire to leech off anyone! Plus I entered the post twice by accident because I'm a newbie with clumsy fingers, not a spammer! (I've joined just so you can be sure of that)

I'm thrilled that two of you are interested in taking part in the study - I've just finished my first round of interviews with Today journalists and am now putting together the audience section. What would you like to know about it and how can I best get that information to you without exposing your email to spammers?

And can you pay my subscription too Please?!

But in short - the truncated interviews annoy me no end when there is still something important to say and there are topics that hardly get aired - New Deal not working, sports pitches still being built on. Like politicians, it's lost contact with those on the lower echelons of society.
