Abstract

ABSTRACT News is often sourced not directly from journalistic outlets, but from various actors that “curate” content into individuals' information networks. Although these curating actors impact the news individuals receive, little is known about their behind-the-scenes curatorial decision-making. Addressing this gap, I isolated one kind of curating actor in the flow of political information: social movement organizations. Drawing on an ethnographic case study from the U.S. transgender movement, I analyzed the “logics of curation” at play in organizations' social media practices. These logics included the internal criteria by which they decided what news stories to share, how they decided when and by which media each story should be shared, and what they hoped to achieve as the end result of curation.

决定什么是（可共享的）新闻：社会运动组织是政治信息系统中的策展者

摘要新闻通常不是直接来自新闻媒体，而是来自将内容“策划”到个人信息网络中的各种参与者。尽管这些策展人影响着个人收到的新闻，但人们对他们的幕后策展决策知之甚少。为了解决这一差距，我在政治信息流中孤立了一种策划行动者：社会运动组织。根据美国跨性别运动的人种学案例研究，我分析了组织社交媒体实践中的“策展逻辑”。这些逻辑包括他们决定分享什么新闻故事的内部标准，他们如何决定何时以及通过何种媒体分享每个故事，以及他们希望作为策展的最终结果实现什么。
