A weekly programme that examines and dissects the world's media, how they operate and the stories they cover.

The Listening Post

Why Poland’s election is so important for Europe | The Listening Post

A year into the civil war in Sudan, the humanitarian costs have been staggering - but the news coverage has been minimal.

A conflict on this scale should top the news agenda but it has been relegated to the back pages – in part – because of what is happening in Gaza and Ukraine. And it is increasingly difficult to deny that the lack of media interest in this war comes down to where it is being fought and how it is understood.

Contributors:

Hager Ali – Research fellow, German Institute for Global and Area Studies (GIGA)

Kholood Khair – Founding director, Confluence Advisory

Matthew Benson – Sudan research director, London School of Economics

Yassmin Abdel-Magied – Editor, Eyes on Sudan

On our radar:

Silencing the voices of dissent at United States universities over Israel and Gaza. Producer Tariq Nafi reports on what that says about freedom of speech in the US.

Poland’s media revolution

Restoring the independence of state-owned news outlets in Poland has not exactly gone according to plan. Producer Ryan Kohls on Donald Tusk’s media overhaul in the country.

Featuring:

Daniel Tilles – Editor-in-chief, Notes from Poland

Dorota Nygren – Journalist

Maciej Czajkowski – Deputy director, TVP

Michal Adamczyk – Former head, TVP

Sudan: A savage war and toxic information battle

The algorithms that Big Tech designed - and the genocide they assisted. The Listening Post explores how Israel’s killing campaign of Palestinians has relied on artificial intelligence to choose its targets. A dystopian nightmare serves as a marketing campaign for technology flawed by design, and deepens the global digital divide.

Sophia Goodfriend – Researcher, Duke University
Mona Shtaya – Digital rights scholar
Matthew Mahmoudi – Researcher, Amnesty Tech
Sebastian Ben Daniel – Journalist, +972 Magazine

On our radar:

Nicaragua put Germany in the dock at the International Court of Justice, accusing it of facilitating genocide in Gaza. Germany is the second largest weapons supplier to Israel.

Meenakshi Ravi dissects the reaction from Berlin and the German media to the case.

Truth to power in wartime Ukraine

Three years into Ukraine’s war with Russia, journalists are feeling the pressure. Where once investigative outlet Bihus.info was relied on to expose Russian war crimes, they’re now undergoing Soviet-style surveillance by security services for exposing corruption in Ukraine.

Featuring:
Yaroslav Yurchyshyn – Ukrainian Member of Parliament and chair, Freedom of Speech Committee
Natalia Ligachova – Editor-in-Chief, Detector Media
Maria Zemlyanska – Investigative journalist, Bihus.Info
Denys Bihus – Founder, Bihus.Info

Genocide in Gaza: Enabled by AI, powered by Big Tech

It is election season in India and Prime Minister Narendra Modi seems set to win a third successive term in the national elections — for good reason, say his supporters. They claim 10 years of the Modi government have transformed India, from lifting millions out of poverty to elevating India’s global status, but his critics say Modi’s record is far from perfect.

In this episode of The India Report, we analyse how India has fared in the past decade on the foreign policy and economic policy fronts.

Featuring:
Jayati Ghosh - Professor of economics, University of Massachusetts
Anand Gurumurthy - BJP spokesperson  and economist
Suhasini Haider - Diplomatic affairs editor, The Hindu
Raghuram Rajan - Former governor, Reserve Bank of India
Veena Sikri - Former external affairs diplomat for India
