Take That, Steve Inskeep
By RR | March 10, 2006
In the lastest report in a series on privacy, this morning’s All Things Considered(NPR) featured an interview with Jonthon Coulson, a graduate student who keeps six different blogs–one on myspace.com. Toward the end of the interview, host Steve Inskeep (one of my favorites) asked if Coulson planned to blog about his NPR experience. Here’s the exact exchange:
Inskeep: Are you likely to post whatever comments you may have about this interview on one of your blogs?
Coulson: Yeah, that’ll happen.
Inskeep:You want to give us a sneak preview?
Coulson:It does seem that NPR has fallen in rank with my university and a lot of others in looking at the privacy concerns and not looking at the benefits of these technologies. And so, I’ll highlight the benefits just to give some counter perspective, even if no one reads them . . . I think that students and kids my age are using these tools to find each other and to keep in contact with each other. We can meet and share ideas, form issue groups, and find allegiances. When that doesn’t happen, we don’t share as many ideas.
