ABOUT THIS EPISODE
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.
