In this episode we sit down with Zamayirha Peter to examine the role of ethical journalism and strategic communication in influencing young people’s civic participation and political consciousness. We explore how modern media platforms shape public opinion, voting behaviour, activism, and community engagement among youth. Through critical dialogue, the episode interrogates the authenticity, credibility, and relevance of contemporary journalism in advancing positive social change. It further unpacks how misinformation and disinformation undermine democratic processes, distort public understanding, and weaken public trust in institutions.
