 The same year, the United Nations adopted the Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC), the most widely ratified human rights treaty in the history of the UN. The trajectories thereby set in motion have recently become explicitly intertwined, with growing
 momentum behind calls for the recognition of the potential of online and networked media for promoting children’s rights. At the same time, researchers, child rights’ advocates and internet governance experts, among others, are concerned that children’s rights
 are being newly infringed rather than enhanced in the digital age.</span><o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:10.0pt"><span style="font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif;">While the past quarter of a century has seen the emergence of a significant literature examining the broad issue of children’s rights and, in parallel, a burgeoning
 field of research on children’s new media and digital practices in a variety of national and international contexts, the question of children’s rights in the digital age has yet to receive sustained scholarly attention, especially compared with the attention
 paid to adult rights online. Within popular discourse, children and young people are frequently configured as riding at the forefront of the ‘digital revolution’. Nonetheless, as high level debates about global internet provision and governance extend their
 geographic, political and economic scope, the position of children and young people is barely acknowledged. Further, in the twists and turns of often heated policy debates, children’s own experiences, voices and interests are vastly under-considered. This
 special issue thus seeks to contribute to the definition, empirical evidence base, and theorisation of the field internationally.</span><o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:10.0pt"><span style="font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif;">Not only are children’s needs and experiences in the digital age often treated as merely a minority interest but they are also often seen as essentially problematic,
 as demanding exceptional treatment from adult society or causing unwarranted restrictions on adult freedoms. It is important to recognise the fundamental nature of the challenges – this is not just a matter of ‘digital rights’ but of all children’s rights
 as they may be being transformed in a ‘digital age’. Nor is it just a matter of the exceptional circumstances that apply to children, for addressing the rights of children and young people also has implications for adult rights in a digital age. How does a
 consideration of children compel a wider re-examination of the concepts both of the digital and of human rights?
</span><o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:10.0pt"><span style="font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif;">If children’s rights in the digital age have yet to receive attention in the global North, this is even more acute in the global South. The tipping point has
 already passed, with two thirds of the world’s nearly three billion internet users living in developing countries, many of them children. At present, the evidence regarding their online activities is very patchy, too often drawing on anecdote, practitioners’
 observations and institutional reports or media accounts. There is thus an urgent need for a scholarly focus on the rights of children and young people within this larger picture of expanding connectivity in the global South. This is vital to foster debates
 about children’s rights informed by dialogues among diverse epistemologies, experiences and normative frameworks.</span><o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif;">This special issue seeks to unpack the ways digital media are impacting – both positively and negatively – children’s rights today and, in doing so, to reflect on the ways that children’s
 rights might provide a meaningful counterpoint from which to consider the role of ‘the digital’ in advancing human rights more broadly. Assembling contributions from leading scholars and practitioners in the field internationally, this special issue seeks
 to bring fully into view the ways in which children’s rights – indeed rights generally – may be being reconfigured by the appropriation of digital networked technologies around the world. Submissions will critically examine the normative and socio-technological
 assumptions embedded in conceptual, policy and practitioner perspectives. To catalyse the debates, we now call for
<b>reflective papers of 6000-7000 words analysing key dilemmas or tensions shaping children’s rights in the digital age, as well as shorter empirical or practitioner pieces (3000-4000 words each)</b>.
