[Commlist] CFP Children, Youth and Devices: New Communication Phenomena and New Product Creators

Wed Mar 10 15:29:26 GMT 2021




# CFP Children, Youth and Devices: New Communication Phenomena and New Product Creators
*
*
*Proposal submission: From January 1, 2021 to June 30, 2021*


*Presentation*
Content creators in different platforms, such as YouTube, Instagram, or TikTok, are increasingly younger. Children and adolescents are the protagonists of this phenomenon both in the creation and the consumption of content. Traditional media have been relegated to a secondary role, allowing the transition to content exchange platforms that allow the exchange of content such as videos and photography. Through these platforms, children generate content targeting their age group and using the same language, codes, preferences, and narratives. This new paradigm generates an increasing interest from commercial brands to be present in the new digital environment. Simultaneously, there are legal limitations that sometimes are forgotten or diluted, and that should be respected. This special issue aims to reflect from different communication areas about the role of these minors as content creators and their influence and protagonism in today's society.
