Abstract

Social media have become a central source for news and current affairs information. This article focuses on the overarching attributes that shape how people come in contact with news, engage with news, and are affected by news on social media. Although all social media are different and change constantly, news experiences on these platforms can consistently be characterized as personalized, incidental, non-exclusive, as well as granularized and social (PINGS). Accordingly, this article introduces the PINGS framework, which acts as a systematization of social media news experiences and can be used to map key opportunities and challenges of using news across various social media platforms. In addition to presenting the framework components, the article also discusses how researchers can investigate PINGS in empirical studies.

社交媒体信息环境及其对新闻使用和影响的影响:PINGS框架

社交媒体已经成为新闻和时事信息的主要来源。本文关注的是塑造人们如何接触新闻、参与新闻以及受社交媒体新闻影响的总体属性。虽然所有的社交媒体都是不同的，不断变化的，但这些平台上的新闻体验可以始终具有个性化、偶然性、非排他性以及颗粒化和社交性(PINGS)的特征。因此，本文介绍了PINGS框架，它作为社交媒体新闻体验的系统化，可用于映射跨各种社交媒体平台使用新闻的关键机会和挑战。除了介绍框架组件外，本文还讨论了研究人员如何在实证研究中调查PINGS。
