#14 FreeSpeak: Do newspapers, radio & TV have their fingers on the online pulse?
Listen now
Description
How are the media – online and mainstream – covering issues relating to the Covid-19 pandemic; what news should be online and what not and where can we find quality rather than the quantity of information? How does or should legacy media reflect and report on what’s happening online – for example, mainly youth centered campaigns around the call to legalise abortion, petitions for a register of sex offenders, etc. Do newspapers, radio and TV have their fingers on the online pulse or are they losing touch? These are some of the issues that FreeSpeak host Gwen Lister chats about with Natasja Beyleveld, MD of NaMedia, which monitors what’s going on in our spectrum of media.
