Episode Who Really Controls the News? The Hidden Power Behind the Headlines
In this episode of EQUALS, Crismar Lujano, reflects on how media ownership and global powers shapes which stories are told about Latin America and global south at large. She explains how the framing of economic and political crises is often determined by whose interests – financial, political or otherwise – are at stake. She explains how economic hardships and insecurity is contributing to the rise of the far right and challenges progressives to offer a more hopeful vision of the future.
Crismar makes a strong case for direct collaborations for journalists and researchers from global south, to reclaim knowledge and amplify local perspectives. She encourages people to question who owns the media outlets they rely on, whose voices are heard and how this influences the narratives.
Tune in for a clear look at why who tells the story shapes what is heard and what it would take to change the narrative.
