One small example is the contrast in coverage of 9/11 where World was just woeful.
I agree. Stephen Cole, who used to present on World, once said that the Beeb never quite knew if it liked the idea of world news or not - hence the constant oscillation between giving it lots of resources (as it has now) and giving it very few (as was the case in the early 00s, when World was, as he put it, 'News 24 cast-offs').
