For Gen Z, dating can feel confusing, intimidating and borderline impossible. For a generation raised on sliding into DMs or swiping on dating apps, starting a conversation in real life can feel nerve-wracking. So why did dating become so complicated? Newsworthy's Ben Tresno-Turner spoke to relationship and intimacy coach Susie Kim and UNSW students about the realities of Gen Z dating. Then he sets himself a bold challenge: to ask a complete stranger out on a first date - with the microphones rolling. ]]> Send us Fan Mail

Child pornography and sextortion are big online problems, but they are being made worse with the arrival of AI and particularly ‘nudify’ apps.

Newsworthy's Raahat Shaik sat down with Dr Sarah Napier from the Australian Institute of Criminology, Dr Pooja Sawriker and Mikaela Jago from ICMEC Australia to discuss how AI is transforming the child protection landscape, why cultural silence can leave some children feeling more alone, and what needs to change to keep young people safe. ]]> Send us Fan Mail
