Criticism is no longer whispers down the lane, now it’s instant messaging down the highway. Judging, mocking and scorning come young and old, from all walks of life. They remain anonymous behind the keyboard, hidden in the clutter, cacophony and crowds. All you ever see is people saying, “this is bad, you shouldn’t say mean things to others”, but they don’t do anything about it. Lishan Chen meets a victim of trolling abuse and shares how she has finally regained her confidence and health.
This podcast was created as part of the 2021 Journalism program at University of Melbourne, supervised by Louisa Lim. Students responded to themes in Science Gallery Melbourne's SWARM exhibition, a space that uncovers the very essence of human behaviour and questions what drives us to be social.
