The Youth vs Misinformation

Tech for Good Live

Hello and welcome to those who have both read, and understood, the standing orders. We're back with another episode of the Tech for Good Live podcast. We are “Team Jackie Weaver” and Bex will stand for no nonsense on this episode.

This week we’re talking about a more inclusive census. A sincere move or a tokenistic gesture?

We discuss cancer charities teaming up to collaborate. We love to see it!

And Oliver Dowden is apparently pressuring charities to protect “British culture”. Our social distanced eyeballs are rolling.

Joining host Bex this week we have TFGLs Greg Ashton and Tom Passmore

Our special guest is Jodie Ginsberg. Jodie is CEO of Internews Europe. An international non-profit organization that helps provide people worldwide with the trustworthy, high-quality news and information that they need to make informed decisions, participate in their communities, and hold power to account.
