Media solidarities with which we are familiar with are a key part of the contemporary media landscape. Our question today, therefore, is how, and whether, the kinds of solidarity effected through the technologies of social media or television are part of any measurable process of social change or do they simply circulate within an increasingly complacent and self-righteous domain of individual consumerism.
In the podcast today I talk with Professor Kaarina Nikunen about how the issue of the suffering of others is mediated today and how it has been shaped and altered by television and social media.
