Vlogging: a new phenomenon, but is it a concern for people’s health?

Parnell, Jade

Abstract

Vlogging has become extremely popular in recent years. Studies have shown how exposure to idealised imagery within traditional media can lead to body image concerns, but there has been little evaluation of the specific impact of vlogging on people’s health and body image. Jade Parnell describes the popular phenomenon, its influence and why more research into this media form is needed
