WHO CARES WINS
EPISODE 5 l 8 OCT 2020
WHAT CAN WE BELIEVE?
WITH DAVID ATTENBOROUGH, CAROLE CADWALLADR, ALAN RUSBRIDGER, VANESSA NAKATE AND RUTGER BREGMAN
Building on the conversation from the previous episode, Lily investigates how our public awareness is shaped by the media we consume. Lily speaks with Carole Cadwalladr - the groundbreaking investigative journalist who broke The Facebook–Cambridge Analytica scandal; as well as Alan Rusbridger, the former Guardian editor-in-chief and member of the Facebook Oversight Board. Lily also hears from Ugandan youth climate activist Vanessa Nakate on how she uses social media to draw attention to marginalised voices; and David Attenborough on the importance of television for growing environmental awareness. The episode concludes with a thought provoking conversation with historian and author Rutger Bregman about our negativity bias, and why perhaps, we should simply read less news.
