Plus: Could emojis get you in legal trouble?
| | Take Me To Your Leader is back! |
|
Volodymyr Zelenskyy has captured the world's attention and admiration like few leaders before him. When Russia launched its war on Ukraine in February 2022, the comic actor turned wartime leader became the face of Ukraine's resistance. As the world watched, Zelenskyy spoke directly to his people from the front line, using social media to share an unflinching view of the invasion. He refused offers of evacuation, famously telling US president Joe Biden he needed ammunition, not a ride. Tune in to the first episode of a new season of the ABC podcast, Take Me To Your Leader, to hear host Hamish Macdonald delve into the Ukrainian president's story. Then, read our online article from The Law Report on the fascinating intersection between emojis and the law. From a thumbs-up to a full moon, these tiny icons have had costly legal consequences overseas. We've asked the experts whether something similar could happen in Australia, and if we should be a little more cautious deploying our love hearts and smiley faces. Lastly, this week we're excited to welcome five more talented researchers as part of the ABC's Top 5 Media Residency. This time around, the program is all about science communication, and features the best and brightest from all around the country. Keep an ear out for their work on RN in the weeks to come. Until next week, Anna Levy, deputy digital editor Enjoy getting ABC RN in your inbox? Invite your friends to sign up too! |
