RE:Balance is hosted by former Al Jazeera and TVNZ presenter Kamahl Santamaria, who knows a thing or two about 'being the story' and how the quest for clicks can result in a story that doesn't quite match the headline.
In this podcast, Kamahl takes the big headlines and 'rebalances' them with different perspectives and approaches. It's not about taking a side - it's about presenting more than one side, and being open to even the unpopular opinions.

The story of an initially-unnamed BBC presenter - accused of paying a young person thousands of pounds for sexually explicit pictures - took on a life of its own this past week. It was equal parts shocking, unbalanced, engrossing, farcical, and unpleasant. And it raised a lot of questions about privacy, speculation, who knew what and when - and of course who the presenter actually was. This week on RE:Balance, Kamahl picks apart the facts of the story and the way it was reported, and speaks to Associate Professor of Sociology at Swansea University Dr. Ashley A. Frawley about the behaviour of all involved - from the accused to the accusers, the media, and the public on social media.
