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

# 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.
