Can you ever put forward a logical argument against an emotional one?
Darryl Morris is a late-night radio show presenter on TalkRadio in the UK, meaning he is often at the front-line when tackling misinformation. Are we grasping any emotional argument, no matter how ludicrous it might seem, to make senses of the world we live in when fact-based info is scarce? Matteo Bergamini talks to Darryl about what types of misinformation he comes across, the role of the media in society and how he is fighting misinformation, including his top tips for ensuring you don’t get caught out.
Media Minded explores the bizarre world of misinformation and conspiracies, with interviews from the journalists tasked with fighting them. Each episode focuses on accounts from the journalist being interviewed. Listen to first-hand experience working in the fast-moving world of breaking news and hear in-depth accounts of investigations into disinformation campaigns.
