Lisa Mitchell: Biodiversity and politics

It's not always easy to get the story behind the story. Journalism is about the Five W's that report the facts but to Sheldon, context is key. It's not just how, but how come. In this show, he talks to the people behind the headlines to find out why we should care. And in the digital age, nothing tells a story better than the voice of the person involved, or the people who can look at it critically and speak about it. We hope to tell the stories that can help us understand not just why something happened, but why it matters.
