ARCHIVE Assisted dying: What do terminally ill people think? 34:30

10d ago34:30

34:30

The End of Life Bill being debated in UK parliament marks a historic moment for a country with one of the most punitive approaches to assisted dying people in the liberal world. But here at Media Storm, something confuses us about the debate now unfolding in the news, which is the distinctive lack of voices of people for whom the bill is actually d…

ARCHIVE ‘One man’s terrorist’: Israel, Lebanon, Iran and beyond 48:56

2M ago48:56

48:56

We bring back Media Storm's episode on 'terrorism' to reflect on the escalating war in the Middle East, and ask how geopolitical biases are playing into this week's headlines and restricting our understanding of events. The episode features Lebanese reporter Zahera Harb, Afghan refugee Gulwali Passarlay, former UN Security Council President Kishore…

S4E16 Nuclear weapons: deterrence or destruction? 1:02:05

2M ago1:02:05

1:02:05

Nuclear weapons: peace in our times, or destruction in our future? What you think probably depends on where in the world you are - because what journalists write generally depends on where in the world they are. Here in the UK, nuclear weapons are a necessary deterrent, and that’s the end of the story. The coverage is coloured by geopolitical consi…

S4E15 What the media won't say about the monarchy 56:58

2M ago56:58

56:58

Prince Harry’s 40th birthday, Kate Middleton back at work, and ANOTHER dramatisation of that Prince Andrew interview. Headlines about the Royals are frequent front pages - but is this actually news? The monarchy is given a fairly easy ride in the media - rarely questioned, often praised, history erased. But why don’t editorial guidelines about ‘due…

S4E14 Violence against women is a man's problem: Gisèle Pelicot, Rebecca Cheptegei, and millions more 1:03:25

3M ago1:03:25

1:03:25

Content warning: rape, sexual assault, and gender-based violence Headlines about gender-based violence are sadly not rare. But over the last week, two harrowing stories have sent shockwaves around the world. In France, pensioner Dominique Pelicot stands trial for recruiting 72 men to join him in drugging and raping his now ex-wife, Gisèle, over the…

S4E13 Why is no one talking about Sudan? Plus Jess Phillips NHS claim and pub garden smoking ban 59:31

3M ago59:31

59:31

Headlines about wars in Ukraine and Gaza have flooded front pages - yet, the "world's biggest humanitarian crisis" is battling for media attention. Why? In Sudan, a terrible war is raging. What started as a conflict between the Sudan Armed forces (SAF) and paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) has exploded into chaos and bloodshed, with countless…

S4E12 Paralympics: An afterthought? Plus ‘two-tiered’ policing and Labour’s migrant ‘amnesty’ 53:18

3M ago53:18

53:18

The Paralympic Games are underway - and there's plenty to celebrate! More coverage than ever before, a public-participating opening ceremony, and over 160 nations televising the event. But is it enough? There were 10 million tickets available for the Olympics - and only 3 million for the Paralympics. What does it mean that the Paralympics will be b…

S4E11 Prisons: Overcrowding, Operation Early Dawn, and child strip-searches 59:25

‘UK PRISONS OVERCROWDED AFTER RACIST RIOTS!’ ‘A CHILD IS STRIP-SEARCHED EVERY 14 HOURS’ ‘SCORES OF CRIMINALS COULD BE FREED IN DAYS’ Headlines this week spotlight the UK’s criminal justice system, as prison overcrowding triggers emergency measures. Amazingly, serious talks about prison reform have entered the mainstream media - but a key voice is m…

S4E10 Just Stop Oil: Why do people hate them so much? 1:00:05

3M ago1:00:05

1:00:05

Cult members. Fanatics. Selfish. Evil. All words that have been used to describe climate activists in the mainstream media. Just Stop Oil have made many headlines since 2022, be it by stopping traffic or throwing powder on Stonehenge in their token orange shade. Last month, five members were sent to prison with the longest sentences ever given for …

S4E9 Bigotry & bad information: Islamophobia, far-right riots, and Olympic boxing row 53:56

4M ago53:56

53:56

This week has seen stories of bigotry, fuelled by bad information. Anti-Muslim and anti-immigrant riots sprung up across the UK, with no factual basis in the incident that triggered them - a stabbing attack that killed three young girls in Southport last Monday, founded on a widespread fake news story that the attacker was a Muslim asylum seeker wh…

Southport stabbings: Why do people join the far-right? 30:51

4M ago30:51

30:51

On Monday, three young girls were killed in a knife attack in Southport at a Taylor Swift themed dance class. They were 6, 7, and 9 years old. Eight other children were stabbed. A community, and a country, are in shock. Even though male violence against women and girls is commonplace, it can be hard to understand in these particular set of circumst…

Warning: Strong language “Race is always seen as Black men's issue, gender is always seen as white women's issue. So Black women always fall through the cracks.” Preferential acceptance rates for White women applying to UK police forces have given a false impression of gender equality, hiding acute discrimination against Black women, Media Storm da…

S4E7 Pride Month under attack: rainbow-washing, queerbaiting, and fears of "gender ideology" 54:03

54:03

Quite a lot to NOT be proud of this Pride Month, with corporations creeping away cowardly as ultra-Conservatives boycott their rainbow campaigns. Meanwhile, much of the mainstream media refuses to report on rising threats to LGBT+ equality. Luckily, there’s also lots to laugh about! From hilariously hopeless Pride ads to everything that comes out o…

This week, Faiza Shaheen announced she has resigned from the Labour Party, after a shock email revealed she had been deselected as a candidate in this year's General Election. The Labour Party candidate selection committee called into question tweets that Faiza had 'liked', some from 10 years ago. But behind the apparent distractions of old tweets …

As South Africans head to the polls, Media Storm is seizing the opportunity to break out of the Western worldview. Last season, former UN Security Council President Kishore Mahbubani criticised the "arrogance" of the UK media and its failure to expose people in 'the West' to how 88% of the world's population see things differently to them.
