This week on Ethically Questionable News, Jamila and Jenn pause to talk about the death of Cambridge professor Jason Arday following weeks of press scrutiny, and what it says about the responsibility we all carry (media and public alike) for the negativity we aim at real people, from Meghan Markle to public figures closer to home.
Then it's onto some good news: a new Queen Mary University of London study tracking children's lung development in London versus Luton since 2018 has found that London kids' lungs, once measurably smaller due to pollution, have caught up to their Luton counterparts since ULEZ was introduced. Jenn and Jamila break down what ULEZ actually does, why Sadiq Khan took heat for implementing it with \"no proof,\" and why this study changes that. They also get into the pushback ULEZ still faces, the affordability options people overlook, and how cities from Milan to Tokyo to New York are tackling emissions in their own ways.
A story about clean air, common sense, and holding both the press and ourselves accountable for the impact we have on others.
