Afternoon Drive with John Maytham

Amy Maciver speaks to Herman Wasserman, Professor of Media Studies at the Centre for Film and Media Studies at the University of Cape Town to discuss the global implications of Meta’s decision to reverse their policy on fact checking, and how it might shape South Africa's media environment, and what can be done to promote fact-based discourse in an era of algorithm-driven content consumption.
