Coming up on… Why Do You Hate Me?

Marianna offers a sneak preview of what other cases of extraordinary hate she’s investigating for later in the series.

The online world can be a breeding ground for hate. But why do some people behave the way they do on social media?

In each episode, the 91Èȱ¬'s Disinformation and social media correspondent Marianna Spring - one of the most trolled 91Èȱ¬ journalists - dives into her inbox and investigates a different extraordinary case of online hate to find out.

She meets the people at the heart of these conflicts, and in some cases brings them together, to see if understanding - even forgiveness - is ever possible.

You can listen to the first two episodes now on 91Èȱ¬ Sounds and by listening to this trail you’ll get a sneak preview as to what’s coming up in the rest of the series.

You can watch the episodes on 91Èȱ¬ iPlayer too.
