Beyond the Channel: Understanding the Impact of Family Vlogging with Fortesa Latifi

from The Moment LIVE! Politics & Culture, Explained · host meredithcollabs

Since time immemorial we have documented our families lives, but over the years birth announcements have evolved from placing a note in the newspaper (we used to do that!!) to filming pregnancy announcements for your family vlog channel in a Target bathroom. But does family vlogging blur the lines on our children's privacy? What are the long term implications of making your daughter's first period into content? This week I welcome Fortesa Latifi, a journalist who is currently writing a book about family vloggers and influencer children for Simon & Schuster. She's written for places like Rolling Stone, The New York Times, and The Washington Post, among so many others. I think you will learn a lot about family vlogging culture in this insightful conversation.    Follow Fortesa  Read her latest piece for The Cut on MTV's Teen Mom  Watch Tay and Kay  at your own risk! IN MY OPINION!
