“…As has already happened on other social networks, the permanence of journalists on the platform will end up shaping norms or common patterns of behavior (Hedman, 2015;Hermida & Mellado, 2020), as well as media organizations developing guidelines for their professionals (Opgenhaffen & Scheerlinck, 2014). The consolidation of journalistic activity on TikTok will make it necessary to study the roles and dynamics that are established, as well as the relationship with audiences and the predominant news values on this platform, as explored on Instagram (Al-Rawi et al, 2021). Similarly, it will be necessary to address how the regulation of these platforms in the different countries conditions this reality, how journalists themselves welcome it, and how media organizations position themselves.…”

In recent years, media has adapted to the logic of each new social network to respond to renewed consumption habits and journalists have developed new roles on these platforms. TikTok is an emerging platform with its own influencer culture and in which the main audiences are the millennial and centennial generations. The main objective of this study is to analyze the presence of journalists on TikTok through the type of content and strategies used in adapting to this platform. The research is based on methodological triangulation. First, a database of journalists on TikTok (n1 = 212) was developed and the profiles were reviewed. Second, a questionnaire survey (n2 = 63) was developed. Finally, a content analysis (n3 = 520) of profiles exceeding 100,000 followers was conducted. This research provides a first description of the activity of journalists on TikTok, where a variety of roles, usages, and strategies are identified, beyond those of their profession. They join the of-the-moment platform with different purposes (to inform, entertain, or introduce themselves) and targets (new audiences, young people, fans). Journalists adapt their presence to the TikTok social media logic, seeking a space of influence on a platform that is the natural habitat of younger generations.

“…Previous research, such as that conducted by Leaver, Highfield, and Abidin [14], has emphasized the Instagram philosophy, which encompasses commercial, creative, and regular use, as well as economic and cultural acceptance. A quick Instagram scroll offers posts regarding news [17], fashion [18], lifestyle [19], self-image presentation [20], and of course arts [21,22]. Abidin [23] points out that Instagram (a) promotes itself as "networked intimacy" by referring to its users as friends, not as followers; (b) encourages users to navigate the app using their "mobile phones" for instant access from anywhere; (c) collects users' moments as keepsakes; and (d) captures spontaneous "happenings" as they occur in real time.…”

On Instagram, we have all seen memes. Honestly, what would you do if you encountered a meme in a museum? The purpose of the study is to evaluate the nexus between posts uploaded by museum visitors and emotions, as well as the popularity of artworks and memes. We gathered N = 4.526 (N = 1.222 for memes and N = 3.304 for museum posts) entire posts using API. We selected the total number of likes, comments, frequency, nwords, and text emotions as indicators for several supervised machine learning tasks. Moreover, we used a ranking algorithm to measure meme and artwork popularity. Our experiments revealed the most prevalent emotions in both the memes dataset and museum posts dataset. The ranking task showed the most popular meme and museum post, respectively, that can influence the aesthetic experience and its popularity. This study provided further insight into the social media sphere that has had a significant effect on the aesthetic experience of museums and artwork’s popularity. As a final point, we anticipate that our outcomes will serve as a springboard for future studies in social media, art, and cultural analytics.

A swift scroll on Instagram and Twitter offers posts about the latest news [27] and trends in real-time, such as COVID-19 [28,29], fashion and style [30,31], way of life [32], selfimage presentation [33], and of course arts and culture [34,35]. Instagram and Twitter micro-influencers also exist, having 336 million monthly active users [36].…”

Social media is the most popular canvas to engage with art. In this study, we provide a different angle, on how an artistic installation on a world-renowned monument—such as Paris’ Arc de Triomphe—can emotionally affect viewers and potentially increase the popularity of the artwork. We collected N = 7078 Instagram and N = 3776 Twitter posts of the Arc de Triomphe as wrapped (installation) and unwrapped using APIs. As engagement indicators for several supervised machine learning experiments, we chose the total number of likes, comments, shares, text sentiment, and so on. Our findings revealed that people were captivated by the poetic installation. Based on the results, we discovered that the sentiments of triumph and surprise prevailed in datasets of the Arc de Triomphe as unwrapped. The same sentiments of triumph and surprise were most prevalent in datasets as wrapped, as well, but with higher scores. Furthermore, we have provided evidence of public art experience and engagement in the social media era. This research, we believe, will be useful in future studies of social media through the lens of public art and popularity. We hope that our findings will stimulate future research in the fields of art curatorship, cultural heritage management, marketing and communication, aesthetics, and culture analytics.
