Episode Three point One kicks off our lengthy analysis of how the media is utilised or seemingly weaponised as an apparatus of control in public debates around workplaces. We cover ground on inaccuracies in reporting, how a company could use social media and traditional publishing media to “socialwash” or “Boris Bus”, and syndication and distribution methods that can tip the scales in matters of public debate defined by power dynamics and resources. We discuss the impacts this can have. Fanny & Kate discuss some of their experiences dealing with the media in the last year.
