Subject - Face the Facts

Posted : (Thursday 24th April 2008 ) By - Jane (Registered User)

Is there a story you would like the BBC to investigate?

They’re on the look out for subjects for this year’s series of Face The Facts, Radio 4's award winning investigative programme presented by John Waite.

You might have local or national suspicions about companies, policies, trends or practices which you think they should investigate. Or it might be that an individual or group has a problem which merits further scrutiny and highlights an area of injustice or wrong-doing.

Face the Facts are keen to investigate possible ideas now for transmission in the summer series. In the past they’ve investigated:

- the anti-arthritis drug Vioxx linked to greater risk of heart
attacks and strokes.

- the plight of local Iraqi interpreters working for British forces

- the activities of a major drinks company in contaminating land.

- deaths of children at privately run Secure Training Centres.

- an evangelical church offering so called miracle births.

The BBC has the time, resources and the expertise to look at stories which are complex or require particular sensitivity. If you can help please e-mail facethefacts@bbc.co.uk. Or call on 0116 201 6654
