Hi all,
Regarding the questions about TikTok (formerly musical.ly). I don't know
about "science communication" on TikTok, but here's an Interaction Design
and Children (IDC) paper related to cyberbullying on TikTok, and children's
design ideas about how they might like to address it:
- Badillo-Urquiola, K., Smriti, D., McNally, B., Golub, E., Bonsignore,
E., & Wisniewski, P. J. (2019). Stranger Danger!: Social Media App Features
Co-designed with Children to Keep Them Safe Online. Proceedings of the 18th
ACM International Conference on Interaction Design and Children, 394–406.
Boise, ID, USA: ACM. https://dl.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=3323133
Regarding the question about "kidfluencers" on video creation sites
(specifically, YouTube), here are a couple of related articles about youth
video-authoring practices (among several others, I suspect) from 2016:
- Yarosh, S., Bonsignore, E., McRoberts, S., & Peyton, T. (2016).
YouthTube: Youth Video Authorship on YouTube and Vine. Proceedings of the
19th ACM Conference on Computer-Supported Cooperative Work & Social
Computing, 1423–1437. San Francisco, California, USA: ACM.
https://dl.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=2818048.2819961
- McRoberts, S., Bonsignore, E., Peyton, T., & Yarosh, S. (2016). Do It
for the Viewers!: Audience Engagement Behaviors of Young YouTubers.
Proceedings of the The 15th International Conference on Interaction Design
and Children, 334–343. Manchester, United Kingdom: ACM.
https://dl.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=2930676
Relatedly, just in case you haven't heard of nerdfighters, what about
nerdfighter-related
media authorship
