'Is the media reporting conversion therapy correctly?' with Jamie Windust MediaWatch

    • News Commentary

In Britain, and across the world, there is a crisis. A crisis of misinformation, disinformation and politics - where opinions are weaponised and hailed as fact, and science is the enemy.
'The Press': where so much of our pain is disseminated to the public, and more often than not met with unkindness, hostility and distain.
Every fortnight on MediaWatch, we invite a guest who, within their field, is seeking to correct this imbalance and recenter the truth. Not through unfounded opinion, but with facts and objectivity.
As well as challenging, interrogating and highlighting the lies and bigotry, we are also celebrating and shining a light on our successes, our wins, and our moments of triumph as a community - both within the mainstream media, and our own. Welcome to MediaWatch with Shahmir Sanni.
In the first episode of this GAY TIMES original podcast series, host Shahmir Sanni (@shahmiruk) sits down with author, model and GAY TIMES Contributing Editor Jamie Windust (@jamie_windust) to discuss The Telegraph's recent report with the headline 'Conversion Therapy ban would criminalise Christian parents stopping children seeking transgender treatment' unpacking the story and discussing more generally the way the mainstream media is currently reporting on transgender issues.
