Goals
This project studies popular youtubers up to 18 years-old in Portugal and Brazil, analysing their discourses and contents, to discuss the ways in which children and young people are using their right to participation in social networking sites strongly influenced by commercial interests, and to look into the ways in which their audiences negotiate their status.
