Coming up on… Why Do You Hate Me?
Marianna offers a sneak preview of what other cases of extraordinary hate she’s investigating for later in the series.
The online world can be a breeding ground for hate. But why do some people behave the way they do on social media?
In each episode, the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ's Disinformation and social media correspondent Marianna Spring - one of the most trolled Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ journalists - dives into her inbox and investigates a different extraordinary case of online hate to find out.
She meets the people at the heart of these conflicts, and in some cases brings them together, to see if understanding - even forgiveness - is ever possible.
You can listen to the first two episodes now on Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Sounds and by listening to this trail you’ll get a sneak preview as to what’s coming up in the rest of the series.
You can watch the episodes on Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ iPlayer too.
