*Brief.*

In Latin America during the health emergency in 2020, digitalization, despite digital infrastructure limitation, was essential not just because it allowed to continue studying and working at home and promoted the improvement of the exchange of goods and services networks using smartphones and mobile applications, but because it helped people to build solidary chains to support and provide relief in places where authorities were absent or negligent. Digitalization augmented even more the popularity of social platforms and mobile devices which have consolidated as the main places of socialization and entertainment among Latin Americans.

After three years since the outbreak, the Latin American landscape invites us to ponder, from a critical perspective, the digital economic activities that have flourished in this post-pandemic context. This special feature topic invites proposals that analyze, from an interdisciplinary and international perspective, the impact of the pandemic and digitalization in the Latin American labor market.

Prospective articles may include topics related with social media influencers (Youtubers, Tiktokers, instangramers and so on), fact-checkers, crypto miners and bitcoin traders, digital nomad workers, online gamers and videogame-items dealers, delivery-platform app workers, social media platforms sellers, among others. Propositions that address (i) the economic and cultural influence of theses economic activities in the regional and international content-consumption market, (ii) novel digital professions as a mechanism to surpass economic and social exclusion, and (iii) externalities, genre barriers and legal and ethical controversial issues, are particularly welcome.

*Submission Instructions. *

Articles should be between 5,000-8,000 words in length (including notes, references, accompanying reference list, and all other inclusions). Papers should be submitted directly to the journal. More information in this link https://journals.sagepub.com/author-instructions/MIA <https://journals.sagepub.com/author-instructions/MIA>

You may send an extended abstract (500 words) to receive feedback from the Feature Topic editor, before you submit your article to the journal.

*No payment from the authors is required*, for submission and publication of their work in Media International Australia; Open Access options are available.
