Here is an article that could be used for both sociology and psychology students about the impact of social media influencers.

The article explores how social media influencers may be influencing young people to develop gambling issues and eating disorders. It could be used within the Media unit to discuss the use of new media and and also form part of a discussion about secondary socialisation.
