The US presidential election has been one of the most controversial races of all time, with voters using social media more than ever before to voice their opinions and, in some cases, outrage.
In this episode, hosts Della Kilroy and Laura Byrne are joined by Storyful’s Head of News Mandy Jenkins, Duty Editors Stephy Burnett and Peadar Grogan, and journalists Kelly Jones and Rob McDonagh in discussing the role social media played in the candidates’ campaigns, its use by the electorate, and the part it plays in the so-called “post-truth” era.
