Bullying and the media: Café Psychologique, 26 June 8 pm

The media – both new social media, and the older forms of newspapers and television – allow people to say things in bullying ways, but without having to confront their victims in the flesh.

Is this a reflection of the influence of a bullying media where the unfortunate and vulnerable are used as fodder for political capital or entertainment? Oliver Cross, journalist and Yorkshire Evening Post columnist, will introduce the conversation at Café Psychologique on Tuesday 26June at 8 pm in Seven Arts.
