    Social Media while Social Distancing

    Like so many people in the world right now, students at Aarhus University's Mundus Journalism program are social distancing due to the coronavirus pandemic. We're into a second week, and we're getting used to this uneasy new reality, but not without a lot of existential angst, confusion, tears, loneliness and...TikTok videos! Yes,  just like how our parents discovered Facebook (a platform initially built for college students), we 20-somethings are crowding out the Teens on TikTok.  In this episode, we discuss how a daily TikTok challenge helped us feel less lonely. How social media can still be extremely overwhelming, and how it carries with it all of the contradictions of our times.  Featuring Sindhuri Nandhakumar, Pauline Bakker and Susanna Carta.

    We Downloaded TikTok So You Don’t Have To

    At a time when social media seems to be evolving at an unfathomable pace, we can only try to get a grasp of its implications on a broader scale. In this episode, Pauline, Giovana and Susanna explore how TikTok works, how journalists and brands are starting to approach it, and how it’s the first platform that makes millennials feel old, looking at videos ranging from dancing ferrets to political activism. We discuss the dangers of letting tech companies have full decisional power on content moderation and data collection, and we look at social media use in Russia and China to see how the landscape varies across regions of the world.

    Millennials talking about marriage

    What can we possibly say about marriage that hasn't already been said? Hate it or love it, you've got to admit that the institution has a very large influence on our lives. Even if we choose not to get married, a good many days in our lives are sacrificed to attending other people's weddings. In this episode, Marta, Pauline and Sindhuri talk about how their views and perceptions of marriage are influenced by their cultures. Sindhu's Sri Lankan/Indian, arranged-marriage-favouring family would like for her to marry a boy from "within the community" (that's a euphemism for caste). Pauline can't envision her Dutch family telling her whom to marry, and Marta believes Italian views towards marriage are diverse and regionally-specific. We discuss the ideas of Esther Perel, this relatively new trend called 'sologamy' (marrying yourself) and more!
