Marianna Spring

Fascinating, gripping, terrifying 😬 An excellent read @mariannaspringbbc.bsky.social I'll be recommending to friends. And I think I'll stick to the quiet life on Bluesky & liking cat posts

@mariannaspringbbc.bsky.social really excellent podcast on Paloma Shemirani. Think it’s as angry as I’ve ever felt listening to a podcast. But an important story that needs to be widely heard.

Finally got round to listening to @mariannaspringbbc.bsky.social podcast about the death of Paloma Shemirani. Tragic, terrifying, frustrating. podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/m...

A great series about an incredibly difficult situation. @mariannaspringbbc.bsky.social did a fantastic job!

Speeding up the commute with this gripping and desperately sad podcast. A ‘good education’ doesn’t always win against the emotional pull of medical misinformation. Kudos to Paloma’s brothers for their public service in sharing their family tragedy with such eloquence www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/brand...

I've just finished reading this excellent book by @mariannaspringbbc.bsky.social of BBC Verify. Recommended reading: Conspiracyland: Trolls, True Believers and the New Information War

BBC Radio 4 - Marianna in Conspiracyland The home of Marianna Spring's investigations for BBC Radio 4.

… and for a powerful story of something similar — a “health” influencer’s daughter dying in her early 20’s because her mum (seemingly) told her chemo caused cancer … I can thoroughly recommend this from @mariannaspringbbc.bsky.social www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m...

This series by @mariannaspringbbc.bsky.social is excellent - and unnerving. You don’t imagine the impact of medical conspiracy theories until they get close to you. By the time your family is down that rabbit hole it’s too late to drag them out.

Sometimes when investigating disinformation online you can forget that this is about real people, living in the real world, having families and friends. And conspiracy theories cause real harm. This new podcast by @mariannaspringbbc.bsky.social is a reminder. open.spotify.com/episode/36Eo...

At @stir.ac.uk yesterday we had the pleasure of hearing from @mariannaspringbbc.bsky.social in our investigations class. She had tons and tons of advice and was extremely generous with her time. A fantastic guest!

Among the Trolls by Marianna Spring review – into the cesspit of online hatred An unflinching exploration of conspiracy theories and their knock-on effects also makes heroic attempts to understand the people behind them

@mariannaspringbbc.bsky.social's BBC Podcasts and her book, Among the Trolls, also do a great job of exploring the people engaged in disordered discourse, and their motivations. www.theguardian.com/books/2024/m...

Also had a brilliant birthday turning 29 too! Totally love doing these social media investigations into algorithms, trolls, disinfo, conspiracy theories and more for Radio 4 pod series, Americast, Panorama & across BBC (plus my first book) and v excited for everything coming up!

More details on investigations, pods and docs coming up v soon! Really love this job even though price is trolls (and being tagged in stuff that has nothing to do with my journalism)🧌

Thanks to everyone who listens, watches & reads ! Follow on Insta & TikTok where I post more.

@mariannaspringbbc.bsky.social Marianna Spring is the most sophisticated, switched on and innovative workaholic of the BBC and probably any news organization.

Thank you for your service, I'm always listening to your interesting, unbiased analysis.

Who's Running America...Trump's Tech Bro (Elon Musk) Americast · Episode

Listened to this on run today open.spotify.com/episode/5mbq... with the great @mariannaspringbbc.bsky.social @zurch.bsky.social - vert interesting take that perhaps wider plan is Mars and to generalise a quote perhaps the US and geopolitics is being ‘put through a wood chipper’ to achieve that ?
