كيف يتورط الأطفال مع شهرة وسائل التواصل الاجتماعي

Social media is increasingly popular with influencers, but despite their widespread reach and the abundance of studies that have addressed this topic, there is no comprehensive book that frames the historical and contemporary phenomenon of child influencers. Drawing on original empirical ethnographic fieldwork and case studies from the Asia-Pacific region and beyond, spanning diverse digital platforms, this book examines the emergence of child influencers and online fame more generally. Crystal Abedin, a leading researcher in the field, discusses the key historical milestones, scandals, and social and cultural contexts that led to ordinary kids' online fame, and how changing public discourse has led to important shifts in how we perceive them. The book addresses and challenges some of the ethical concerns about children's visibility on social media, and gives voice and agency to children, their parents, agents, and managers who strive to improve the child influencer market through their daily practices and community standards. The book “Child Influencers” is a valuable read for anyone who wants to understand the phenomenon of children and online fame, and why this phenomenon has spread so quickly in society.
