Newsjack Revisited is on Radio 4 tonight at 11pm. Note the 'proper' Radio 4 rather than 4 Extra. It's a 'best of' series 7, I believe, before the show proper starts tomorrow at 11pm on Radio 4 Extra.

Minor correction- the show proper is on Radio 4 Xtra at the usual NJ time of 10.30!

No, because they simply haven't got time to rewrite stuff. Write it for one and, if they think it works better as the other, they will rewrite it themselves. If you send in a gag without forming it in one guise or the other, it'll get canned, however funny it is.
Also, 'Jupp' left four series ago. Might be a good time to listen to tonight's 'Best Of' just so you hear the new features as it's subtly different now (I would say).

Dan is spot on that anything you submit should be fully formed, just as you wouldn't send in an idea for a sketch you shouldn't submit a joke that has not been structured to fit a specific part of the show.
I'd add to this that to get a correction broadcast it will have to be pretty zingy, as they only use about 3 per episode, so if you're playing the numbers game submitting your one-liners as jackapps has a better potential hit-rate. On the other side of that coin is that they sometimes struggle to get any good corrections (hence several shows in recent series where none were broadcast at all) so if you can master the art of the correction you'll be on to a winner.
