Media Storm is returning next week! Series 5 will begin on Thursday 6th February - and there are now TWO episodes of Media Storm every week.

Every Thursday, we'll be dropping Media Storm's News Watch - where Mathilda & Helena will run through the main stories of the week, picking apart the most unhinged headlines to help you make sense of the mainstream media.

Every Friday, we'll release our regular episodes - our deep-dives into a topic that we think has been misrepresented in the mainstream media. And we'll do that with the most important (and most overlooked) people in the story - the ones living it.

Until then, here is one from the archives: Media Storm's first ever investigation about the so-called refugee 'crisis'. With headlines reporting ‘record numbers of migrants’ reaching the UK in dinghies, Media Storm headed across the Channel to find out why they’re coming. The UK claims that accepting asylum seekers creates a ‘pull factor’ and encourages more people to come - we look at whether this is really what’s causing the crisis.

Plus, we've republished our conversation from last series, where we busted the biggest myths about refugees with two people who have lived experience - Journalist Osama Gaweesh, and Afghan journalist, newsreader, and women's rights activist, Zahra Shaheer.

Make sure you have your notifications on so you can join us, TWICE weekly, from Thursday 6th Feb for Series 5!
