Yardie Skeptics (S.04, ep.04) : Social Media & Modern Communication

"Social Media and Modern Communication" Now that we're able to communicate with each other instantaneously from thousands of miles away and in different time zones, have we become better as a result? Are we slowly forming more meaningful communities around shared ideals, or have we simply drifted apart as islands of individualism and narcissism? Does social media promote the democratization of information and ideas, or is it simply controlled by players who have the right culture, language, and power?

Special guests: Dr. Alison Irvine-Sobers, sociolinguist, Dr. Natalie Bennett, sociologist & Dr. Joseph Farquharson, lexicographer.
