Facebook's role in the Rohingya crisis, Ch9 dumped and Intern Pete

Stories are emerging about the Rohingya crisis in Myanmar last year, and Facebook’s role in facilitating the spread of hate speech. Should the platform be doing more to intervene? Plus, we discuss the question that hijacked cricketer Steve Smith’s press conference. And the Nine network has lost their Commonwealth Games accreditation, but is the system irrelevant to begin with? To discuss these issues and more, we were joined by Margaret Simons (Monash University), Max Chalmers (Crikey and ABC), Benedict Brook (news.com.au) and Libby Hogan (Democratic Voice of Burma). This episode was hosted and produced by Ninah Kopel. Fourth Estate is produced by 2SER 107.3 in Sydney and is broadcast across the Community Radio Network in Australia.
