This special issue is dedicated to exploring the most relevant and current topics in the field of media and digital literacy. The publication includes articles from prominent academics and professionals that address, from various perspectives and approaches, the role of influencer teachers in education, as well as the ethical and practical challenges that arise in this work.

The selected contributions for this issue explore the study of the profile of university faculty in new contexts from the perspective of students. The influencer phenomenon and its effects on educational processes are also discussed, along with the educational opportunities that arise from interaction with followers, especially in recognizing the educational responsibility that comes with the content shared on social media. Additionally, the production of audiovisual content is analyzed from an ethnographic method, and the relationship between media literacy and content in the creation of educational materials is examined. The issue also offers some educational experiences based on the use of social media, such as the use of TikTok as a tool to encourage reading.

We invite all those interested in these topics to follow our networks and learn firsthand about the content and enriching dialogue fostered by our journal.
