Summary

Fear, crisis, invasion. That's the way migration gets spoken about and the far right is often the one setting the tone. So how can journalism push back against this narrative? This episode brings together three people covering migration from very different angles: social media, cross border investigations, and cultural commentary with a pinch of humor. Interviewees: Sakhr Al-Makhadhi, Executive Producer at AJ+ May Bulman, Investigations Editor at Lighthouse Reports Coco Khan, journalist, writer and co-host of Pod Save the UK Hosted by Beatriz Ramalho da Silva and Tessa Pang Sound edited and designed by Elli Xypolitaki / Spoovio Music by mobygratis Website - X - BlueSky - Instagram - and you can email us at [email protected]
