Book: Young People, Ethics, and the New Digital Media
I need to have a look at this book. I have been trying to decide what to do about my youtube informants id’s. They are between the ages of 15 and 25, all have published videos on youtube. I do use some screenshots, but as the sample is random, you would not be able to easily guess all of them from the screenshots. Also, I am not saying anything that seems sensitive – but sometimes what may seem not sensitive to me can be sensitive to someone else. So the point of my long rambling thought- How much id should I use in this article? Obviously I can not ‘hide’ the people in the screenshots, but I can use shots where their back is turned and take away the name of the file/film. It would make it hard (although not impossible) to id.
Young People, Ethics, and the New Digital Media
This site is one researcher's wanderings through participatory media. Focusing on youth created media, I will use this blog to document my study of YouTube and related video hosting sites.
