This erases and ignores the work of the World Service who primarily engages audiences between 18 and 24 and provide life saving information for young communities that have no access to any other form of media. Our reporters & their families endure daily threats to their lives.

hey! i obviously massively rate you and would have gone into the great work you're doing (your stories on young lesbians using social media was amazing last year, plus loads of others), it was just a matter of word count and linking specifically to social media

Hi Sarah. Congratulations! But think saying "The Next Episode" has fallen flat is really unfair.
@NME put it on their list of best new podcasts of 2019 and we were nominated for a@radioacademy award last week for 'Best New Show'.https://www.nme.com/blogs/nme-blogs/the-20-best-new-podcasts-of-2019-2591428 … -
We work really hard to engage underserved audiences through the journalism we do on the podcast and I’d argue that people tweeting about it isn’t the best indicator of our success. There’s more work to do, for sure and we’re making progress with every episode.

Def agree with parts of this but covering what's going on on TikTok is a way the BBC are engaging with it and young people. If they joined and it wasn't authentically done it would fall completely flat as the 'official' voices are not what young people love about the platform.

I don’t think this is entirely true! I couldn’t include it because of word count, but I had a whole paragraph about how the Washington Post has an incredibly popular TikTok (350K+ followers) and goes viral CONSTANTLY. But I do get the concern/where you’re coming from
