Fact or Fiction? Deciphering media influence in the UK's immigration discourse

In this new episode of "Fact or Fiction", immigration reporter, Mathilda Mallinson, brings into focus the complex role of the mainstream media in the UK's heated immigration debate. Using her keen insights, Mallinson probes the ways in which sensationalist headlines and divisive narratives may be exacerbating polarisation, raising urgent questions about the media's responsibility to its public service mandate.

She uncovers the stark reality of the financial interests at play within news outlets, and how this might influence the portrayal of immigration issues. Furthermore, Mallinson raises an alarm on a pressing crisis within journalism – the struggle to balance speed and volume of content production with thorough, balanced reporting. Are the voices of the most marginalised, particularly those of asylum seekers, being drowned in the cacophony?
