Abstract

News organisations increasingly use social media content for breaking news, eyewitness accounts and user-generated videos. However, the veracity of such content is often questioned as social media platforms are prone to false reports, rumours and manipulation. This highlights the importance of journalists using robust verification techniques and strategies to ensure the accuracy and reliability of social media content in their reporting. However, prior research revealed no review papers discussing patterns of verification techniques and strategies journalists use on social media content for news production. This thematic review aims to synthesise literature from 2019 to 2023 on the journalist's strategies and techniques in verifying social media content for news production using a thematic review (TR). A list of keywords (journalistic techniques and strategies used in verifying social media content for news production) related to the scope of this research was identified. In the second step, the keyword was searched for studies in Scopus, Dimensions and Mendeley, and 31 papers were reviewed. A thematic review was carried out, where five final themes were identified: traditional techniques, combination strategies, technology and social media tools, computational tools and training, and media literacy. This study will benefit knowledge of journalists' verification social media techniques and strategies and future study of journalists' verification practices. Keywords: Journalists practices, verification, techniques & strategies, social media, news production.
新闻生产的社交媒体内容验证:新闻技术与策略的专题回顾
新闻机构越来越多地使用社交媒体内容来发布突发新闻、目击者描述和用户生成的视频。然而,这些内容的真实性经常受到质疑,因为社交媒体平台容易出现虚假报道、谣言和操纵。这突出了记者在报道中使用强有力的核实技术和策略以确保社交媒体内容的准确性和可靠性的重要性。然而,之前的研究显示,没有评论论文讨论记者在新闻生产的社交媒体内容上使用的验证技术和策略的模式。本专题审查旨在通过专题审查(TR)综合2019年至2023年的文献,研究记者在核实新闻制作的社交媒体内容方面的策略和技术。确定了与本研究范围相关的关键字列表(用于验证新闻生产的社交媒体内容的新闻技术和策略)。第二步在Scopus、Dimensions和Mendeley中检索关键词,共检索31篇论文。进行了专题审查,最后确定了五个主题:传统技术、组合战略、技术和社会媒体工具、计算工具和培训以及媒体素养。本研究将有助于了解记者核实社交媒体技术与策略,以及未来对记者核实实践的研究。关键词:记者实践;验证;技术;策略,社交媒体,新闻制作。
