Mass protests in Hong Kong put a team of independent journalists to test as they face intimidation from Beijing as it curtails press freedoms.

The media landscape is in constant flux. Social media platforms now allow almost anybody to become an 'expert' and opinions to be presented to the world as facts or as 'news'. Politicians have seized on the opportunity to discredit news reports that they see as unfavourable as 'fake news'. They too have become their own 'publisher', their messages sent out unfiltered and unchallenged. Whose Truth Is It Anyway? looks at how journalists across the world are coming to terms with this new reality.
