| Summary: | In this introduction to the Social Media + Society 2K Special Issue on “Child Influencers in the Asia Pacific Region,” we review some of the scholarship on various iterations of child Influencers across creator types, genres, and platforms, and survey some of the key issues raised in the scholarship. The Special Issue offers 11 articles that consider how child Influencers are connected to discourses around hegemony, are involved in social-cultural movements and projects, and are protected (or not) by regulation. With perspectives primarily from media studies and methods including ethnography, interviews, document surveys, and content analyses, each paper offers a specific demographic focus and raises issues specific to a country’s socio-political and socio-cultural context. |
