“…Interestingly, this kind of user-user interaction-as opposed to user-content interaction-underlying commenting seems to be driven also by a need for entertainment (Chung & Yoo, 2008;Yoo, 2011), while news sharing in general does not fulfill entertainment needs nor the need to escape from daily routines (Lee & Ma, 2012). Ksiazek, Peer, and Lessard (2014) in their study on comments on online news videos also differentiate between those news videos attracting lots of comments and those exhibiting more conversation between commenters. Their results show that popular videos in terms of exposure and recommendations attract more comments, while less popular ones attract more conversation.…”

In this article, we present a cross-national comparative analysis of which online news users in practice engage with the participatory potential for sharing and commenting on news afforded by interactive features in news websites and social media technologies across a strategic sample of six different countries. Based on data from the 2016 Reuters Institute Digital News Report, and controlling for a range of factors, we find that (1) people who use social media for news and a high number of different social media platforms are more likely to also engage more actively with news outside social media by commenting on news sites and sharing news via email, (2) political partisans on both sides are more likely to engage in sharing and commenting particularly on news stories in social media, and (3) people with high interest in hard news are more likely to comment on news on both news sites and social media and share stores via social media (and people with high interest in any kind of news [hard or soft] are more likely to share stories via email). Our analysis suggests that the online environment reinforces some long-standing inequalities in participation while countering other long-standing inequalities. The findings indicate a self-reinforcing positive spiral where the already motivated are more likely in practice to engage with the potential for participation offered by digital media, and a negative spiral where those who are less engaged participate less.

Abstract. This paper focuses on the role of Facebook use, interactivity with politicians, quality of information and political interest as the predictors of online political participation among youth. The paper argues that Facebook use, interactivity, quality of information and political interests have the potential to engender online political participation among Nigerian youth. Also, by offering them an avenue for acquiring political information necessary for making an informed political decision through deliberations on Facebook; in order to bring new political changes and group mobilization. Therefore, the study was implemented with survey questionnaires collected from youth in Bauchi metropolis (N= 372). Findings reveal that Facebook use, quality of information and political interest positively correlates with online political participation while interactivity with the politicians did not significantly influence online political participation among youth.

“…Nesta pesquisa aderimos ao arcabouço proposto por Ksiazek et al (2014), que definem o engajamento (do usuário com o conteúdo) através de um continuum que varia do extremo de menor engajamento (métricas de exposição), passando pelos indicadores de popularidade, até o extremo de maior engajamento (métricas de interatividade). Os mesmos autores distinguem dois tipos de interatividade (usuário-conteúdo e usuário-Construindo um ambiente de curadoria para engajar o cidadão em histórias noticiosas: um caso da metodologia ADR usuário), sustentando que as interações com maior frequência e qualidade indicam um engajamento mais profundo.…”

“…Por outro lado, a prática de publicar uma opinião ou reação em resposta a uma notícia (por exemplo, comentários no ambiente online) sugere um indivíduo mais investido, consciente e atento, ou seja, "um usuário ativo que está desafiando, apoiando, ou pelo menos refletindo sobre a notícia" (Ksiazek et al, 2014). Em outras palavras, um usuário mais engajado com o conteúdo.…”

A ideia, portanto, é analisar o conjunto das histórias curadas em termos do engajamento dos usuários com as mesmas, de acordo com os critérios de exposição, popularidade e interatividade do arcabouço proposto por Ksiazek et al (2014).…”
