In this powerful and emotional interview, Michael Levine sits down with Andy Parker, father of Alison Parker, a journalist who tragically lost her life in 2015 as she was shot dead while reporting on live television. Andy shares his heartbreaking journey following the horrific event and his relentless battle to have footage of his daughter’s final moments removed from the internet. Despite the trauma, he’s become a passionate advocate for responsible content management, challenging social media giants to take accountability for harmful and graphic content that continues to circulate online.

Andy opens up about the emotional toll this journey has taken on him and his family, his tireless campaign for change, and the legal and societal hurdles he’s faced along the way. His mission goes beyond just one family’s story; it’s a call to action for platforms to protect individuals and families from the devastating effects of viral violence. This conversation sheds light on the urgent need for reforms in digital responsibility and Andy’s inspiring resilience in his fight to honor his daughter’s memory.
