Abstract

The platform operates with an algorithmic governance model that affects the spheres of the journalistic process, from the production, dissemination and circulation of information (Dolata & Schrape 2022; Silva et al., 2020). Thus, the objective of this work is to describe and characterize the use of digital platforms by local journalistic vehicles in the microregion of Bico do Papagaio, in Tocantins, state of northern Brazil. The study is justified by the prominent role of news consumption via social networks on the internet and this micro-region has few studies. Methodologically, the research follows the exploratory and descriptive line, considering the observation, registration and data analysis (Gil, 2021). As for the technical processes, we followed with content analysis of the data collected in order to verify the characteristics of these materials. to collect, categorize and analyze content published over two weeks by three local media outlets (Voz do Bico, Folha do Bico and Tocnotícias) on Instagram, Facebook, X (formerly Twitter), YouTube and websites. 250 published journalistic texts and more than 150 publications on social networks were analyzed. The results demonstrate a platform of the analyzed vehicles with profiles on social networks, as well as a content management system. It was also evident that there is a production and circulation of limited content and no strategy for building a more robust and interactive presence on platforms, aiming at greater engagement and use of the available possibilities.
