after a report raised new concerns about its link to earthquakes following a 2.9 quake in august is being dismissed by the opposition as nothing more than an election stunt labor leader jeremy corbyn said a conservative government would simply reverse the decision if it's reelected on december the 12th. i think it sounds like fracking would come back on the 13th of december if they were elected back into office we're quite clear we will end fracking we think it's unnecessary we think it is polluted of ground water systems and also all the evidence from preston you wrote in lancashire is that it's actually dangerous and has caused serious earth tremors it seems to me like an election stunt i think it's what's called euphemistically if it's a green bore. so what exactly is the process of fracking well it taps into oil and gas reserves by drilling deep down into the earth to reach the shale rock before turning and going horizontally for hundreds more metres at the casing of the well

4:21 am
a top stories do stay with us and are there are listening post is coming up next hour more news here after that i was watching. purchase stocks a good price church. next time. i was. treated like. nothing at the time and then i am off to the clinic and look for the. hello i'm richard just bird and you're at the listening post here are some of the media stories we're covering this week you can add chili to the list of countries dealing with political upheaval on the streets amongst the issues bias on the airwaves journalism from behind bars in
4:22 am
prisons across the us inmates are reporting on a hidden world to ban or not to back the issue is political advertising social media sites are grappling with it and the washington post botches an obituary headline and the internet is not going to let the paper live it down. over the past month or so we've covered mass protest movements and the way those stories have been reported from hong kong to baghdad to beirut this week we're looking at chile and the largest demonstrations there since the end of the pinochet dictatorship almost 30 years ago the unrest was set off by a price hike on public transport but the larger context to all issues include rising inequality plus an unrepresentative political class news outlets included chile has the most concentrated media ownership in latin america there is a lot of resentment on the streets directed at t.v.
4:23 am
channels accusations of too much airtime on looting not enough on either violations by the security forces or the underlying issues behind the civil unrest the historical backdrop is central to this story there's a deep lingering resentment of the news media which goes back to the pinochet era chileans remember that the 4th estate failed them utterly back then and they're saying that journalists still aren't listening to them today our starting point this week is the capital santiago. there's a perception that journalists tell you to. be. this connected to this to be interests. mostly private interests. most of the protest were shot by drones from really high in the air because they
4:24 am
would have problems with a camera on the street the fans would be vandalized. people see massive protests and they all want something better for the country. on the other hand you have things terrible story of violence. teens and bringing buses bringing car is. total destruction. on the streets in a state. of. mind one from what happened in the seventy's. everybody knows how it started and nobody knows for sure how will it. what began as a spontaneous protest over the rising cost of a subway ticket in santiago has morphed into a national movement that wants to talk about a much bigger issue inequality in chile. starting in the mid 1970 s.
4:25 am
the country went down the neoliberal path embarking on a privatization binge the money markets approved but it left citizens having to shell out for a range of privatized services education health care pensions which many chilean say do not deliver enough the richest one percent holds more than a quarter of the country's wealth they are well positioned to affect if not control the news mary. no where in latin america is media ownership as concentrated as it is in chile which partly explains why the conflicts on the streets are not limited to protesters taking on security forces those protestors are also targeting journalists. and. television channels and mainstream radio have not carried balanced coverage and haven't reported the ill feeling on the street or t.v.
4:26 am
channels have done is to remain on the side of the ruling class opinion makers and expert but what is the underlying issue is that the near liberal capitalist model is at the expense of social rights rights that was stolen during the dictatorship and which remains hijacked as new liberalism with deep and democratic governments that underlie. you know. what has happened here is enormous protests fueled by social outrage and the media has felt but willed it. to manage the situation this is a movement that doesn't have leaders converting the masses represents them who can journalists dialogue with how can t.v. manage process and present the social media. and we have to remember that almost the entire media actually belongs to private corporations that kind of power they suppress and in the way they control the media
4:27 am
so even when a journalist is trying to show a depiction the kind of image of the mobilization ultimately what people perceive is that this vested interest in manufacturing the kind of news in the kind of portray of any type of. a recurring grievance of protesters is the chilean media's emphasis on conflict at the expense of context they accuse privately owned channels such as mega v.c. on and channel 13 feasting on images of looting and violence while starving audiences of analysis of the underlying causes of the unrest the agendas at play are not merely ideological they are commercial to the ratings chase and t.v. and the national broadcaster is no different like other state owned institutions in chile it has had a neo liberal make over t.v.
4:28 am
and is reliant on ad revenues in a way public broadcasters in other countries are not leading to coverage that leans towards the sensation. the way you see watching the news i remember very clearly the screen divided into this t.v. and on one side of the screen you had a fire in the street and this one. misfire on the screen the most important thing visually was this fire and what does it mean fire in a context like this means riots danger. the form of media that dominates chillies streets is social it's where protesters organize get their news and share stories of news coverage that fall short and it isn't just domestic news outlets and reporters feeling foreign journalists are too now the hike in the metro al-jazeera is correspondent to recent poll was targeted after this life get stuck at the
4:29 am
fringes of a protest for technical reasons she had demonstrators going after her not for anything she said but because of what her camera will show. that they said look we're going to. do you know. the social media campaign was aggressive complete with death threats she left the country after being assaulted on the street you can see on facebook and twitter and instagram all this hashtags like don't trust journalists don't trust the elite turn off the t.v. . turn off this particular station and there is this anger people in the street say oh you know you're not covering this you're not covering that you can get a t.v. station traditional news outlet to behave as a social media showing everything at the same moment at the same way so it's very challenging and there is the lack of trust and needs and the media belongs to the
4:30 am
elite. looming over the media story in chile is some dark history that pinochet dictatorship which lasted from 1973 until 990 and the country's oldest best selling newspaper elmer curio has more to answer for than most in the early seventy's the paper was bankrolled by the cia paid millions of dollars to produce stories to destabilize the democratically elected government of leftist president salvador allende then went on to cover up beautiful human rights by. nations committed by the pinochet regime which killed thousands of chileans many of the demonstrators have long memories and it's no wonder that the paper's offices in the coastal city of valparaiso were broken into and satellite. media you know is being asked about their support for the 973 could and them
4:31 am
according to this being asked when they want to ban me a call they haven't done it till now and they're not going to do it so we need to know what perspective of this right away and media outlets how on reality is it trying to maintain the economic model or is it trying to protect its business interests is it trying to retain its privilege and hedging you know with a really media system got the entire system i mean it's done limited we have come from a dictatorship where the military had an important role this is a memory a painful memory you know the attack against selma could be you know is symbolic it is a very important newspaper in chile associated with a right wing movement that was in line with pinochet you cannot talk about chile without knowing what was said. of the 2. days into the demonstrations president sebastian pinera declared a state of emergency while surrounded by men in uniform it was
4:32 am
a sharp visual reminder as though chileans needed one of the past. later appearing before the live cameras piniella added that declaration of war against the demonstrators one in which journalists are more than just collateral damage. the media watch and geo reporters without borders says media workers have been arbitrarily and violently arrested targeted with tear gas and shot at with rubber bullets and live ammunition. but unlike 973. this time everybody has a front camera and a chance to tell the story. so you have tons of food which of people reporting in the streets sure tonight's hot based and you have to put this in a larger context is the one of 1973 and the coup d'etat. it can be if we in 7 days we have this toaster for you to show you that cross it is
4:33 am
committed by police officers so. can you imagine the level of violence committed by the time. we're discussing other media stories that are on our radar this week with one of our producers john hannah who's joe along with hate speech fake accounts misinformation the big social media platforms have been grappling with this issue of political advertising we've seen a lot of talk on it let's start with facebook what's the policy there and why is the company getting so much flack over well richard facebook has become an integral part of political campaigns around the world and it gets a lot of criticism for running political ads without fact checking them c.e.o. mark zuckerberg was question last month at a congressional hearing in washington and this is how he defended facebook's policy to democracy i believe that people should be able to see for themselves what
4:34 am
politicians that they may or may not vote for if you really want to take them down there for themselves also deny that facebook hands off policy was designed in mind he said political ads work on for just 0.5 percent of facebook's overall revenues next year but still if you break that down facebook's is forecasting total revenues next year of 66000000000 dollars 0.5 percent of that is $300000000.00 nothing to scoff that. is also getting some stick from some of his own employees a number of whom signed a letter objecting to this whole. let users figure it out for themselves approach calling it a threat to what facebook stands for then twitter c.e.o. jack dorsey jumps in and he announces a policy change on vaclav form no more political acts if you look at the timing richard this feels a little bit like a case of corporate trolling well facebook flounders on this issue here is twitter with what sounds like a well thought out policy for killing all political ads dorsey tweeted political
4:35 am
message reaches the urns not blogs and the pain to reach voters has significant ramifications that today's democratic infrastructure may not be prepared to handle now kristie internet people were tagging facebook and zuckerberg asking why they couldn't do the same as twitter but it's worth noting though that twitter doesn't make nearly as much as facebook that is from political ads so dorsey is not turning his back on as much money but from a p.r. point of view it clearly did zuckerberg no favors this way ok thanks joe. more than 2000000 people live in american prisons that's roughly equivalent to the population of a medium sized city locked up across the country the stories of what really goes on inside are seldom heard which is striking since fictional depictions of prison life have proven to be more than marketable films like escape from alcatraz tapio the shah shank redemption more recent t.v. shows like prison break and orange is the new black there is something about in
4:36 am
person ration that seems to fascinate audiences however non-fictional accounts of life on the inside are much harder to come by for journalists who have tried access is the issue with prison authorities usually controlling who gets in and what stories get out but some prisoners are determined to make this a beat of their own the journalism that they produce from behind bars has real value both for audiences and the reporters involved the inmates seem to find journalism to be a useful form of rehabilitation a listening post flo phillips now on the ultimate inside story prison journalism in america. roland crack let's get it bring it. community from the bay of san francisco state prison this is. broadcasting from inside one of the oldest prisons in the united states. is
4:37 am
a brand new radio show. uncut is about telling us stories from our perspective it's the latest product from a unique media project san quentin radio which operates out of san quentin state prison in california supported by volunteers and donations inmates to try to tell their story how to be the chronicler of their own experiences under. loud and there's a market out there awash with depictions of prison life if you're not going back to my door not going. to start any fights in there with reality shows like america's top is prisons true crime documentary series like making a murder and dramas like prison break or worst of the worst are there great list. goes on. for troy williams one of the founders of the san quentin media
4:38 am
initiative it was clear that people on the outside wanted to know about life behind prison walls so why not tell them the real thing and watch a lot of shows that talk about a president and they never like same to get my story right and so that's when i came up with the idea of producing and sank when president ford and from there things just began to take off that was back in 2010 when williams was still serving a life sentence at san quentin for robbery and kidnapping using donated equipment he began producing his own video and audio programs about life in jail he got out in 2014 and continues to work as a producer. williams is not an anomaly across the united states as a small press corps prisoners telling stories that might otherwise never get told. some right most people their fellow prisoners like kerry miles sentenced to life
4:39 am
for 2nd degree murder a crime that he the victim's family and the investigating detective all say he did not commit he spent 2 decades writing and editing a magazine the angle light produced out of a maximum security prison in the way. his sentence was commuted and he was released in 2060 i think i've wanted to do that i wanted to write since i was 5 years old and so when i was sent to. out of state penitentiary. told me into the prison print shop where i stayed for 5 years i got to know the editor i got to know the rest of the staff and when an opening came up i certainly took took the opportunity to do that the angle light is a chronic color of not only events that happens at the prison but the angle light has also been a conscience of the criminal justice system in louisiana and. policies nationwide than there are in maids whose journalism has jumped beyond prison rules

john j. lennon is held at the sing sing correctional facility in new york state he's serving a 28 years to life sentence for selling drugs and murder he writes speeches about life in prison for outlets like the washington post the new york review of books the marshall project and is even a contributing editor for esquire magazine. story comes from the characters so i'm constantly in conversation with my peers i'm sort of taking notes whether it be in the yard and you know i have my pen and pad and i'm talking to the person and then i'll go back to my cell and i'll sort of transcribe those notes on my typewriter you know i don't even really do too much of my own research whenever i see a story and something i think i'm bringing i'm looking at this the story is a little different from my angle right. before the media setups in the u.s. prison system right now san quentin is web prison is interested in journalism i want to be there's a newspaper san quentin news there's the radio show on cops you can see the infield
4:41 am
where we see video in here and there's the hip hop cost a house you could hear him dragging closest of all produced by inmates on the inside and it's not just about the variety of media on offer prisoners at san quentin can't even get something of a journalism education from professional reporters like former wall street journal tech reporter yukari cain these men have learned. how to be articulate have learned how to write well and they have become experts in criminal justice from the inside and personally affected by policy and law and important discussions that are happening now and there's an opportunity for them to be part of the discussion and the debate outside not just through their own articles but through our beds. and hearing these perspectives giving them a space in the main street is crucial america has the highest documented
4:42 am
incarceration rate in the world but nick you lack of transparency around prison conditions makes coverage from the outside especially challenging. in our interviews with john jay leno and kerry miles from troy williams the key point they kept coming back to it was their access it's unparalleled they do the kind of reporting no one else can. expose the practice of a state court of appeal. the 12 years had essentially thrown all pro se supervisory writs into the garbage can meaning of. a writ that was filed an appeal that was filed by a prisoner without a lawyer got exposed because the staff director committed suicide in his office and sent all the documentation to an attorney who happened to be a friend of mine had i been anywhere else no one would have cared and we expose that practice and that practice. changed i wrote
