Research: “Talking to an API: An Explanatory Study on Social TV” (Portuguese)
|
This paper discusses how the use of customized access to information stored on social media platforms through the phenomenon of using social networks in parallel to consumption of TV software tools, constitutes what some authors call the “backchannel”, a secondary space of content production and discussion of the programs being watched synchronously to the issue, which looks similar to what is known in journalism as the organizing forces of criteria for newsworthiness. It explorers the techniques of data mining by the custom tool Social Tracker, developed in Python, to collect data on the problem, considering that, due to the large amount of information generated in this environment, it is increasingly difficult to do this manually.
