S4E8 General Election, Gen-Z, and propaganda in the papers
S4E8 General Election, Gen-Z, and propaganda in the papersDescription
It's VOTING DAY! How did you pick who to vote for?
Hopefully not by relying too heavily on our mainstream media. Listen to this episode to find out why!
It’s a dose of media literacy that is so essential, especially in this year of elections. We speak to CEO of independent press regulator Impress, Lexie Kirkconnell-Kawana, and TikTok journalist Sophia Smith Galer, about the party politics of our papers, the cringiest MPs rapping on TikTok to try and sway a Gen-Z vote, and how actually engage young people in politics.
Plus, no-filter host of Saving Grace podcast GK Barry joins Media Storm to talk about her latest project 'The Turnout'. Take note, if enough young people vote, Alastair Campbell will be forced to watch an episode of Love Island with her.
Hosts: Mathilda Mallinson (@mathildamall) and Helena Wadia (@helenawadia)
