Social Media Roundup: Meta’s widely viewed content, the Ukraine war and Archant’s eco shift

The Interactive Journalism MA students at City, University of London are back for another episode of The Interhacktives Podcast.

In this episode, Olivia Burney, Oliver Barsby and Gemma Farrell discuss Meta’s controversial widely viewed content report, how the Ukraine war is playing out on social media and Archant’s adoption of digital magazine for environmental reasons.

We’ve recorded this episode over Zoom due to ongoing university and tube strikes (fun…), but we’ll be back in the studio next week!
