Sean Dodson's image on Facebook
‘Facebook taps into something most people want to do’, says Leeds Met journalism lecturer Sean Dodson, interviewed on BBC radio. ’That’s to present an image to the world – and control that image’.
‘People realise we live in a more mediated society now. On Facebook, it’s both social and it’s media.’
‘Facebook is strange because it’s a company, and 600 million people participate – but they’re not customers. We are effectively allowing this company to sell our privacy [to advertisers] at a price.’
The interview was broadcast on BBC Radio Leeds (and begins about five minutes into the show).
