Episode Description
On the last leg of his international fact-finding mission, Bryce travels to London - where an academic’s calls for media literacy to be taught at school might finally be being answered. He also visits The Guardian newspaper to learn how they’re fighting fake news - and meets with a Cambridge professor who’s an expert on the psychology of misinformation and worries COVID may have changed everything.
