Cartoonists of the ‘Caliphate’

Available for over a year

This week BBC Trending investigates a change in how the so-called Islamic State group is marketing itself. Typically associated with videos showing killings and destruction, supporters of the terrorist group are now employing less confrontational means in order to recruit followers – namely, the use of cartoons aimed at both adults and children. Also, we talk about one of the most popular social stories this week. A well-known family pranking Youtube channel is shut down after a backlash from the Youtube community.
