Resumo
RESUMO – Este artigo propõe um framework teórico-metodológico para compreender o consumo acidental de notícias no Instagram, a partir de uma revisão sistemática e de um processo de adaptação conceitual (Jaakkola, 2020). Os resultados apontam para uma tríade que sustenta o consumo acidental de notícias no Instagram: algoritmo, ação humana e estrutura da plataforma, sendo que cada uma delas desempenha um papel fundamental para esse contexto. Também identifica que cada categoria do aplicativo fomenta a exposição a notícias de forma diferente, mostrando que o Explorar é o espaço com mais potencial para a descoberta.
ABSTRACT – This article proposes a theoretical and methodological framework to understand incidental news consumption on Instagram, based on a systematic review and a process of conceptual adaptation (Jaakkola, 2020). The results point to a triad that underpins incidental news consumption on Instagram: algorithm, human action, and platform structure, each of which plays a fundamental role in this context. It also identifies that each category of the app fosters news exposure differently, demonstrating that Explore is the space with the greatest potential for discovery.
