Trending

Available for over a year

When presenter Tania Reza was groped live on air by her co-host, Enrique Tovar, the clip went viral. As the saga unfolded, she and her co-host were both fired after making a video brushing it off as a social media stunt. Tania then claimed that she was pressured into making the video with Enrique. So what does the incident – and the huge reaction online - tell us about women’s rights in Mexico? We also investigate one of the internet’s most popular memes known as the Sceptical Third World Kid. What’s the story behind the photo? And are depictions of third-world children exploitative? (Photo: Tania Reza. Photo Credit: Televisa Prensa)
