Abstract

Abstract News media share gatekeeping power with social media platforms and audiences in the digital news environment. This means news media is no longer the sole gatekeeper when gatekeeping is viewed post-publication, that is after news content has been published and entered circulation. In this study, we approach interacting and commenting on social media as post-publication gatekeeping practices. This means gatekeeping materialises as and in social interaction, as conversational gatekeeping. We engaged in a quantitative and qualitative analysis of Instagram posts and comments on Finnish newspapers’ Instagram accounts during a period of one year (April 2019–March 2020) to explore how conversational gatekeeping emerges in the increasingly visual and multimodal social media environment. We contribute to the emerging stream of post-publication gatekeeping research by showing how multimodal Instagram content initiated four different styles of performing conversational gatekeeping: affirmative, critical, corrective, and invitational styles. Our typology helps to understand the social interactional relationship between news media and their audiences in general, as well as the micro-level practices of post-publication gatekeeping in particular.
出版后的把关实践:探索芬兰报纸Instagram账户上的对话和视觉把关
摘要在数字新闻环境下,新闻媒体与社交媒体平台和受众共享把关权。这意味着,在新闻内容发布并进入流通后,新闻媒体不再是唯一的看门人。在这项研究中,我们将社交媒体上的互动和评论视为出版后的把关实践。这意味着在社交互动中,作为会话式的守门人,守门成为了现实。在一年的时间里(2019年4月至2020年3月),我们对芬兰报纸Instagram账户上的Instagram帖子和评论进行了定量和定性分析,以探索对话把关是如何在日益视觉化和多模式的社交媒体环境中出现的。我们展示了多模式的Instagram内容如何引发四种不同风格的对话式把关:肯定式、批判性、纠正性和邀请式,为新兴的出版后把关研究做出了贡献。我们的类型学有助于理解新闻媒体与其受众之间的社会互动关系,尤其是出版后把关的微观实践。
