Editing Teen idol (section)

=== North America ===
Often teen idols are [[actor]]s or [[musician]]s. Some teen idols began their careers as [[child actor]]s, such as [[Britney Spears]], [[Hilary Duff]], [[Raven-Symoné]] and [[Miley Cyrus]]. There were teen idols before there were [[teen magazine]]s, but idols have always been a permanent feature in magazines such as ''[[Seventeen (American magazine)|Seventeen]]'', ''[[16 (magazine)|16]]'', ''[[Tiger Beat]]'' and ''[[Right On! (magazine)|Right On!]]'' in the United States, and in similar magazines elsewhere. With the advent of television, teen idols were also promoted through programs such as ''[[American Bandstand]]'', ''[[The Ed Sullivan Show]]'', ''[[Soul Train]]''. Today's teen idols have spawned an entire industry of [[gossip magazines]], [[television shows]], [[YouTube]], [[social media]], and whole [[television channels]] such as [[E!]].
