Trial By Media

Content warning: We talk about terrorism, murder, and violence. Twenty-two people were killed and more 800 were injured after suicide bomber Salman Abedi detonated a shrapnel-laden homemade bomb at the end of an Ariana Grande concert at the Manchester Arena in 2017. His brother Hashem Abedi was jailed for at least 55 years after helping plan the atrocity. We take a deep dive into the horrific events behind the UK’s largest terrorism trial and how it played out in the press. Later we discuss the alarming rise in far-right terrorism in the UK.
