Presented by Richard Gizbert, Listening Post will bring viewers a weekly insight into how the news is covered by the world's media. It will monitor and examine all platforms, all over the world, from newspapers, radio and TV to blogs and podcasts, we've got it covered. We're also looking for new voices and we're willing to give anyone a try.

We want to see the emergence of new voices from regions that are not often heard in traditional western media. From the biggest network to the most obscure bloggers, Listening Post will report critically on what they cover - and what they don't. It will examine the big stories and explain how and why coverage of them differs in different parts of the world. Listening Post will report on the best in journalism, as well as the worst of what passes for news in countries where state-run television monopolises the airwaves. Listening Post is a weekly half-hour programme produced by Moonbeam Films for Al Jazeera English.

vote now or forever hold your peace - the low down on a mixed reception from international media on the controversial constitutional referendum in Egypt. Plus viral politics - 1984 to 2008 - how one man co-opted an iconic TV advert in a bid to affect the US Presidential race.

The main story centres on Cairo and the ideological divide in reporting on constitutional change. Two years ago Egypt's President Mubarak was re-elected on a platform championing democracy - something that captured the attention of international news. Now with the introduction of 'reforms' that will increase the power of state over the individual, positive media coverage of the nation has become increasingly muted.

Voting day was billed as "a day that could change the course of Egyptian politics"; State media extolled the virtues of the referendum and it's importance to progressive politics. But the Egyptian people chose to vote with their feet and avoid the polls and the international press echoed public sentiment, criticising alleged vote rigging and the violent treatment of referendum protesters.

There's a feature on the growing power of the individual and the internet on political opinion. Viral videos have the potential to reach an audience as big as FOX or CNN could ever command - and one man, and his computer have had a huge impact on the US electorate.

Phil De Vellis - a supporter of Barak Obama has modified Apple Mac's Orwellian '1984' TV launch advert and posted it on Youtube - lighting the fires of political debate that no amount of campaign spin can stop.

Plus we uncover the hilarious antics of the internet scambaiters and scambusters who are turning the table on online con artists and getting revenge in the name of swindled surfers the world over.

In Newsbytes, slain journalist Anna Politkovskaya takes a swipe at Putin's Russia. Her diaries, which include accounts of The Beslan School Siege of 1996, are published in English this week and will not be hitting Moscow bookstores anytime soon.

And social networking has a new facilitator. Multimedia messaging website Twitter is causing a buzz everywhere from Silicon Valley to Washington DC. The site simply asks 'what are you doing?' and then informs your loved ones of the answer. Ordering a 12' meat feast pizza for one will never be your own dirty little secret again.

And finally a music video of the week with a political theme - banned by MTV and commercial radio, British rapper Riz MC muses on life in post 9-11 world.
