  Welcome to the 4th episode of Discussing Digital. This episode we speak to independent social media consultant Andrew Jennings about the state of social media in 2019. You can follow Andrew on twitter www.twitter.com/MrAJennings Or on LinkedIn here: www.linkedin.com/in/andrewfjennings/ We discuss the biggest social news stories of 2019, including Fyre Festival, Nick Clegg at Facebook, the world record egg, KFC (FCK) and more. We also speak about the tragic story of Molly Russell who took her own life at 14, with her father saying he believed Instagram was partly to blame. We’re deeply saddened by this story and found it extremely difficult to discuss - for more info and help on distress through social media consumption please contact Samaritans (www.samaritans.org/) on 116 123.
