Episode 6 - Joey Barton, Path and Banjo

We could probably do a This Week in Joey Barton podcast if we tried hard enough. The controversial footballer reinvented as a sixth former’s Morrissey (who himself is a sixth former’s Oscar Wilde) isn’t known for keeping his trap shut. But this week a series of tweets regarding John Terry’s race trial caught media and legal eyes.

Path, the ‘personal network’ app for iPhone and Android has been in a spot of bother this week after it emerged that the app uploaded users’ address books to their servers. Is this a big privacy breach or is everyone doing it? We take a look.

Sky News are gaffe of the week for their social media memo. Did #savefieldproducer save @fieldproducer? If only we’d recorded this after Sky News made Daniel delete his tweets…

Banjo is Jo’s app of the week. The app allows people to discover all public tweets/facebook messages sent from a specified location. We look at how journalists can use it.
