Hi Stephanie, I have yet to spot the PSA, but I'd love to see it. It sounds right up the alley of my current MA research into the offline impact of UGC/SNS, specifically with regards to matters of privacy. Intentionally or not, the following Rogers Wireless Facebook ad provides additional insight into the impact of (networked) user-generated content... http://youtube.com/watch?v=fQr9YOrm7kQ Regards, Steven James May MA Candidate, Media Production Ryerson University Toronto, Canada ----- Original Message ----- From: "Tuszynski, Stephanie" <stuszyn@UTNet.UToledo.Edu> Date: Tuesday, April 29, 2008 7:32 pm Subject: [Air-L] Canadian PSA To: air-l@listserv.aoir.org, air-l@listserv.aoir.org
Greetings all -
I was wondering if anyone else has seen that PSA airing on the CBC warning kids about Internet safety? The video follows a young barely-adolescent girl (Sarah? I think) who in the course of her day keeps getting accosted by various older and skeevy-looking men who ask intimate questions based on her blog posts. It's a rather chilling ad, and therefore rather effective.
I was wondering if anyone else has seen it and had any thoughts about the efficacy of this kind of use of fear of exposure? Also is the PSA online anywhere?
