Media, Media, News & Politics, Society & Culture, the informer, World News

On this episode of The Informer we explore the themes of social media bullying further as we look at what it means as well as how it is being combated. We speak to victims, experts and activists that use the internet as a way to express and explore themes in our communities and how we can guard ourselves against that being portrayed in a negative light.

JOYs own Benjamin Norris, host of Word for Word knows about cyber bullying first hand after he won Big Brother back in 2012. He sat down with Dean to talk about what that was like, and how he combats that while still using social media as a platform for promotion and expression.
