Jade Goody:
Jade Goody is neither a victim nor an exploiter, any more than anyone is in their own jobs. If we look at it in those terms we all exploit the fact that we get money for doing stuff and are a victim in so much as we are stuck doing a job when we would rather be somewhere else. If you don't like her then don't watch her, there are plenty of other channels with nothing worth watching on.
Peter Blatchford -
Jade has always been looked down on by society,she represents the poorest and uneducated bottom class,whom they prefer to keep hidden.Well done Jade for breaking through the barrier,for making a living off the media. So now that she is ill,should she make us all feel comfortable by hiding away so we don't have to think about her?She has no other means of earning a decent income for her boys so I say as long as she is ok with this then go ahead.Maybe it will give the upper classes something to think about todays society,take them out of their comfort zone.Good luck Jade.As for jounalists morals,I have long worried where do we find the truth in todays news?The press all seem to be competing and insulting each other(like politicians),instead of investigating and breaking truthful stories.How can the public learn what is going on when the press is so lame and morally bankrupt?when some celeb is front page news and real stories buried inside?Where are those old reporters who chased a story and reported it with facts?

NO NO NO - Jade Goody did NOT make racist comments re: Shilpa Shetty and this was agreed by the police at the time of the furore. Please retract Jane Ennis's comment to that effect today. Every time this is repeated it gains credulity - it is unjust.

Children's Services:
I listen to radio 4 most days. My kids are 12 and 8 and watch CBBC and use iplayer. They have radios in their rooms and my older one listens to Classic fm. (I'm nervous about him listening to Radio 4 as there are no parental guidance controls!) I had never heard of any childrens radio till I listened to this week's show, and the kids have never asked about it. How do the bbc communicate to kids (or parents) to know it's there and get them to want to listen to it? It would be brilliant if there was a channel that I could leave them to listen to unsupervised, so they could have the radio on while doing other things like all the adult world can.
Hi, I am listeneing to your show today, 11th Feb and would like to add that as a community radio station, Unity FM, broadcasting in Birmingham and worldwide on the internet have a daily storytime slot which has been running for one and a half years now. Our aim is to instil in children a lifelong love of reading by broadcasting quality stories and dramatisations. Working on a very small budget we have managed to sustain this for one and half years now.

Conscience Clause:
Surely the first effect of a conscience clause for journalists would be a mass exodus from the Express, assuming any journalists still work there.

A BBC Trust review of services and content for children, which came out yesterday, says that the BBC is doing well for its younger audiences but could do better. Schedule changes have made falling audience levels worse for shows such as Newsround and Blue Peter. Steve is joined by children’s Laureate Michael Rosen and Richard Deverell, controller, BBC children's to discuss the findings.
Jade Goody has courted controversy and media attention ever since she first appeared on Big Brother in 2002. The reality TV star was told she had cancer on Indian Big Brother back in August 2008, but has maintained her media appearances in newspaper and magazine articles, photographs, radio interviews and a documentary with Living TV. Steve is joined by Jane Ennis, former editor of Now magazine, to discuss whether the press exposure has now gone too far.
